The Armed Forces of Malta, Civil Protection Department (K9 Department) and St John Rescue Corps joined forces for an earthquake simulation exercise at White Rocks, Pembroke.
The K9 Search and Rescue Malta team led the simulation, testing officials in search operations, immediate first aid response and in extraction.
Emphasising critical teamwork and readiness for emergencies, each team had their own respective roles to play to prepare in the case of such a natural disaster.
Last Monday, Finance Minister Clyde Caruana announced during the budget that Malta will be enhancing its preparedness for such an emergency for natural disasters through the National Emergency Response Framework (NERFP).
