TRIPLEX 2004

In September 2004, the TRIPLEX exercise took place in the Starum area of Norway, bringing together international humanitarian actors to simulate a large-scale disaster response. Organized by the International Humanitarian Partnership (IHP), the exercise focused on improving coordination, assessment, and logistical support in a realistic crisis scenario. Participants, including UN agencies, EU Civil Protection teams, and NGOs, tested their response mechanisms and practiced working together in challenging conditions. TRIPLEX 2004 emphasized collaboration, interoperability, and the deployment of IHP support services, such as base camps and communication facilities, providing a critical training opportunity for enhancing global humanitarian preparedness.
