To review the capacity of the Swiss civil protection service to cope with a future multi-year drought event, a tabletop exercise will be conducted with members of the civil protection partner organizations. They will be exposed to hypothetical but realistic extreme drought scenarios provided by the WSL Extremes Research Program and the Center for Security Studies, ETH Zurich. This joint exercise will allow an analysis of current structures, processes, and resources in anticipation of future extreme events. Participation is possible by invitation only.
