The Civil Protection services of Malta and Sicily together with number of NGO’s and volunteers will participate in an earthquake exercise simulation in Gozo, the sister island of Malta, from 3rd to 6th September 2015.

One of the objectives of this exercise is to provide a training platform for project partners and non-governmental organisations which work in the field of civil protection. The participating teams will be able to test their operation capacities.

This exercise is part of the EU funded project SIMIT which aims at developing an integrated Civil Protection Network between Malta and Sicily. The project pays particular attention to seismological, hydro-geological and volcanic risks.
