More than 2,000 people and 40 local, national and international emergency response organisations, have been taking part in the exercise to test out emergency services and support staff. This year’s disaster scenario had the fall-out from a hurricane that resulted in severe flooding, mudslides, collapsed buildings and displaced people.
