In May 2000, the TRIPLEX exercise was conducted in the Skövde area of Sweden, marking another milestone in the International Humanitarian Partnership's (IHP) efforts to enhance global disaster response capabilities. This large-scale simulation brought together humanitarian organizations, UN agencies, and EU Civil Protection teams to practice coordination, assessments, and logistical support in a complex emergency scenario. Participants engaged in realistic disaster response activities, including the deployment of IHP support services such as base camps and communication facilities. TRIPLEX 2000 emphasized collaboration and interoperability, providing a vital training platform to strengthen preparedness for future humanitarian challenges.
