Exercise “UUSIMAA 2008”, a consequence management field exercise organised by the Euro-Atlantic Disaster Response Coordination Centre (EADRCC) started on 1 June 2008 in Finland.
The 5-day drill was based on the fictitious scenario of a serious civil emergency situation on the southern coast of the country.
Around 1000 participants representing 25 NATO and Partner countries as well as other international organizations assisted Finland in dealing with the consequences of heavy thunderstorms, floods and chemical spills.
