UBC Okanagan conducted its first emergency exercise in February 2009. The exercise was used to test and improve the effectiveness of UBC O's emergency response plans and procedures.
Exercises bring together first responder agencies (i.e., police, fire department and ambulance), other external agencies and UBC O departments.
Participants may respond to a variety of simulated site emergencies, ranging from hazardous material spills, fires, airplane crashes and structural collapses.
The exercises are developed, arranged and administered by HSE in close collaboration with various University departments and external agencies.
