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.

Gorkha Earthquake

A large scale 7.8 magnitude earthquake struck northwest of Nepal's capital Kathmandu on 25 Apr 2015, killing thousands of people, destroying buildings and infrastructure.

Earthquakes

2008

Lake Kivu Earthquake

Following the 2008 Lake Kivu earthquake in the Democratic Republic of Congo, IHP provided crucial ICT support to the UNDAC team in Goma. With communication networks disrupted, IHP deployed satellite phones, laptops, and internet access solutions, enabling effective coordination of relief efforts. This support ensured real-time assessments, facilitated aid delivery, and helped restore critical communication, playing a key role in managing the earthquake response and assisting affected communities.
