In short, this was a large-scale civil defence exercise held at Savilahti Luola in Kuopio on 2–3 September 2026. The exercise focused on testing how to protect and support a large number of people in response to a range of threats and emergency situations.

Exercises like this play an important role in strengthening preparedness for crises. They provide an opportunity to test procedures in practice, improve coordination between different organisations, and build community resilience to a wide range of threats.
