Mock Drill :

What is a civil defense mock drill?

A civil defense mock drill is a preparedness exercise aimed at testing how civilians and government systems respond during emergencies like war, missile attacks, or aerial strikes. The drills recreate real-life scenarios — air raid sirens go off, lights are turned off across cities, civilians practice sheltering procedures, and emergency teams operate in real time. These drills aim to reduce panic, avoid confusion, and save lives by increasing awareness.
