- BVI DDM CARIBE WAVE 2019 - Regional Tsunami Simulation Exercise (March 14, 2019). Stay tuned for more updates from across our Participating States!
The Department of Disaster Management is encouraging everyone to participate in the annual earthquake and tsunami simulation exercise (CARIBE WAVE 19) on Thursday, March 14, 2019.
The exercise will be based on a magnitude 6.0 earthquake associated with an underwater volcanic eruption and subsequent collapse of an unstable sector of Kick’em Jenny which generates a tsunami. This scenario presents a perfect opportunity for you to test and improve your state of readiness.
Participation in these types of exercises has been proven to be the most effective method of preparing for an actual tsunami.
Be prepared and register to participate in CARIBE WAVE 19 by contacting the Department of Disaster Management on 468-4200 or email chicks@gov.vg.
