What is a civil defence mock drill?
A civil defence mock drill is a preparedness exercise which seeks to identify strengths, weaknesses, and gaps in the current civil defence preparedness during emergencies like war, missile attacks, or aerial strikes.
The aim is to test the preparedness and efficiency of the current civil defence mechanisms at the state and local levels. The exercise aims to evaluate the response capabilities of various agencies, their coordination, and the public’s preparedness to handle different types of emergencies.
