The Disaster Management Coordination Agency (DMCA) today hosted a national tabletop simulation exercise to assess Montserrat’s readiness for a mass casualty incident.

The exercise was designed to test stakeholder coordination, operational readiness, standard operating procedures (SOPs), and the effectiveness of a unified command structure.

Participants included officers from the Montserrat Fire and Rescue Service (MFRS), Royal Montserrat Police Force (RMPF), and the Royal Montserrat Defence Force (RMDF). Also participating were representatives from the Montserrat Port Authority, the Ministry of Health, the Office of the Deputy Governor, GIS, the Montserrat Red Cross, and the DMCA.
