The local Defence Team will participate in the upcoming Great B.C. Shakeout by utilizing the Mass Notification System (MNS) on October 20, 2016 for two minutes beginning at 10:20 a.m.
 
The audible siren will sound much like that of an emergency vehicle and will last approximately one minute.  A short B.C. Shakeout voice message will accompany it. 
 
Due to a variety of environmental factors including temperature, humidity and wind direction it may be possible that the sirens will be heard in neighbouring municipalities 
 
Audio files are available on the Maritime Forces Pacific website.
