Overview

• The exercise triggered 50 sirens across 22 municipalities at 10:00 AM and delivered Es-alert notifications to mobile phones marking the start and end of the drill.
• Protecció Civil involved 73 high-risk chemical facilities and coordinated with 54 schools where about 19,000 students practised indoor confinement.
• Key industrial hubs including Mercabarna, Zona Franca, the Port of Barcelona, ZAL Port and Seat Martorell were brought into the test area.
• Citizens were instructed to seek refuge inside the nearest building to simulate real emergency shelter-in-place procedures.
• Findings from the post-drill survey will guide improvements to notification protocols and infrastructure for future chemical alerts.
