The Nevis Disaster Management Department (NDMD) in collaboration with the Emergency Response Agencies and Volunteers, would have conducted a Simulation Exercise, across all five parishes on Friday, 12 December 2025.

According to NDMD, it was “a planned exercise— not a real emergency.”

It helped CERT volunteers and partners practice search & rescue, first aid, communication and response skills.

The data and lessons learned from this operation will support continuous improvement of Nevis’ disaster readiness and community resilience.

Persons would have noticed: Emergency vehicles, Volunteers acting as injured persons, Drones in operation and Responders in safety gear.

Regular emergency services were still available for real incidents.
