The exercise will simulate a scenario involving an aircraft incident allowing for a comprehensive evaluation of firefighting, hazardous materials response, casualty management, evacuation protocols, and communication systems.

The exercise involves a collaborative effort among various emergency response agencies, including the Police, Rural Fire Services, Fire and Rescue, Ambulance, Mudgee Hospital, VRA, SES services, and Council. By working together, these organisations reinforce the importance of partnerships in ensuring effective emergency response.
