Aircraft accident drill at Egilsstaðir airport

18th October 2023

The regional health center in East Iceland participated in an aircraft accident drill in Egilsstaðir airport last Saturday, October 14, and it is Isavia who is the organizer of the exercise.

The staff of the Centre performed diverse roles such as emergency classification, medical transport, care of injured persons in the injured's collection area and co-ordination of operations with other response parties. The training went very well but it is important to practice the HSA response to any security threat regularly so the agency is as prepared as possible. A lot of lessons could be taken away from the exercise, which will be used to improve the procedures, organisation and reaction of the institution.
