Planning continues for a mass evacuation drill of civilians in case of war. In week 41 of September, several hundred volunteer extras will be evacuated on Gotland. The drill is a large-scale test of plans for how Gotland could be evacuated in the event of war or natural disaster.
Alf Söderman, defense director at the County Administrative Board of Gotland, says that if things are found to work less well, there is an opportunity to adjust them so they work even better in a future real situation. He says that Gotlanders will notice the drill, where up to 300 people will be evacuated to test the planning in practice. In practice, volunteer extras will be used for the drill's implementation.
