The Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research conducted a field exercise under the supervision of the General Directorate of Civil Defence to assess preparedness and strengthen the ability to respond to incidents and emergencies in accordance with approved safety procedures.

Held at the Al-Andalus Complex, the exercise simulated emergency situations, tested evacuation and response plans, and assessed the availability of safety and security measures. Staff were also trained to respond appropriately and efficiently to emergencies, helping to ensure rapid response and minimise risks.

The exercise reflects the Ministry's commitment to implementing civil defence and safety requirements across its institutions. It also aims to strengthen awareness of prevention and emergency response through training programmes, workshops, lectures, and practical exercises.

These measures form part of the Ministry's efforts to enhance coordination with the General Directorate of Civil Defence and relevant authorities, monitor safety requirements across its buildings and facilities, and improve staff preparedness for emergencies in line with approved procedures.
