TRIPLEX 2008

In September 2008, the TRIPLEX exercise took place along the Swedish-Norwegian border near Charlottenberg and Magnor. Organized by the International Humanitarian Partnership (IHP), the simulation focused on a large-scale natural disaster scenario, bringing together humanitarian actors, UN agencies, and EU Civil Protection teams. Participants practiced critical response tasks, including coordination, assessments, and logistics, in a realistic cross-border setting. The exercise emphasized cooperation among diverse organizations and tested IHP support capacities, such as base camps and communication services. TRIPLEX 2008 provided a valuable training opportunity, enhancing preparedness and collaboration for effective responses to real-world humanitarian emergencies.
