TRIPLEX 2016

The 2016 TRIPLEX exercise, hosted by the Norwegian Directorate for Civil Protection in southern Norway, brought together over 200 participants from 36 organizations and more than 70 nationalities. Centered on a realistic scenario involving Hurricane "Windblown," which devastated the fictional country of Sörland, the exercise tested emergency response coordination among UN agencies, the EU Civil Protection team, NGOs, military actors, and private sector partners. The event began with workshops on the latest humanitarian tools and mechanisms, followed by a three-day simulation focused on assessments, coordination, and response planning.

Earthquakes

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.
