TRIPLEX 2002

In October 2002, the TRIPLEX exercise was held on the Danish island of Bornholm, bringing together international humanitarian actors for a large-scale disaster simulation. Organized by the International Humanitarian Partnership (IHP), the exercise provided a realistic training environment for over 200 participants, including UN agencies, EU Civil Protection teams, and NGOs. The scenario tested disaster assessments, coordination, and logistical support, with a focus on enhancing collaboration and interoperability among organizations. TRIPLEX 2002 showcased IHP’s ability to deploy support services such as base camps and communication systems, strengthening preparedness and coordination for future humanitarian emergencies.
