The Alūksne municipality has announced on its official website that practical civil protection and evacuation drills will be held on September 28 in two of its villages — Pededze and Liepna.

The announcement was published on the municipality's webpage, though further details about the exercise, such as participating services or the specific scenario, were not provided in the available information.

What is known

The drills form part of civil protection preparedness measures, intended to test the readiness of residents and responsible services in the event of a potential evacuation situation. Such exercises are typically organized to assess both public awareness and the ability of local services to coordinate effectively during emergencies.

Pededze and Liepna are located in Alūksne municipality, a region bordering both Estonia and Russia, which makes civil protection readiness there a matter of particular attention.
