Province creates Major Incident Readiness Team

As we face a 2023 hurricane season that is forecasted to have 14 to 21 named storms in the Atlantic this fall, the province announced that a Major Incident Readiness Team has been created.  The team is made up of elected and government officials, and its focus is to prepare for major events and emergencies that have the potential to impact the Island. The team will work with Emergency Measures Organization, government departments, and local municipalities to help prepare the Province for any major event.  The Major Incident Readiness Team will begin its work immediately, including receiving a briefing from EMO and other experts in the coming days. The entire Major Incident Readiness Team will meet bi-weekly, or more frequently if required as needs become clearer.
