Combined Disaster Response Drill Held for Simultaneous Wildfire and Road Accident
Published
This drill is conducted under the scenario of a wildfire and a road disaster occurring at the same time. Road disasters include tunnel fires and multi-vehicle pileup accidents in which several cars collide. Because response at the scene becomes more difficult when several disasters occur at once, this drill has been prepared to resemble an actual situation.
The purpose of this drill is to improve practical, field-centered response capabilities. It will examine the process by which multiple agencies move together at the scene to assess the situation and take action. Since a combined disaster depends more on the order of response and the division of roles than on any single accident, the goal of the drill is to reduce confusion should a real incident occur.
Experts believe that such drills must be repeated regularly for responders to act quickly and accurately in real disaster situations. As the forms of disasters are becoming more diverse due to changes in weather and urban development, the need for training that anticipates a variety of scenarios is growing.
This drill is expected to serve as an opportunity to review and strengthen the actual disaster response system. Going forward, drills assuming a range of situations will continue in order to protect the safety of citizens.
