Responding to crisis or emergencies in the Arctic requires a coordinated team approach. Every year, #JTFN works with federal agencies, civil authorities and Allied militaries to improve our collective ability to respond to safety and security matters in the North, and establish a common emergency operating picture.
Last year, #OpNANOOK-#TATIGIIT focused on engaging the Yukon Government, federal agencies, U.S. military and civilian authorities in the conduct of a whole of government, multi-national response to a natural disaster scenario, based on a community evacuation from a wildfire.
