Overview
When significant emergencies happen in the province, the New Brunswick Emergency Measures Organization (NBEMO) steps in to help manage the situation using a three-level graduated system to support and co-ordinate emergencies.
Level 1: Enhanced Monitoring
At this level, the organization is focused on the situation. They’re gathering information, sharing updates with emergency management partners and external organizations.
Level 2: Partial Activation
This level is used for more serious events that can have a significant impact on critical infrastructure, municipalities and New Brunswick residents. Some of the Provincial Emergency Action Committee (PEAC) is called upon to provide co-ordinated support. NBEMO staffing levels are enhanced to support the emergency.
Level 3: Full Activation
At the highest level of activation, PEAC members are brought in to support the province in managing the situation. The Provincial Emergency Operations Centre is fully activated and is working to provide a co-ordinated response in co-operation with federal, municipal, and community partners.
NBEMO uses activation levels to allow the province to respond quickly and effectively to escalating emergencies.
