If you happened to be at the Abu Dhabi International Airport on September 27 and witnessed an evacuation, don't panic, it's just a drill. The Abu Dhabi Airports conducted a "phased evacuation exercise" at terminal one departure area on Thursday.
The exercise ran for approximately one hour from 9am to 10am. During this time, the airport operations continued as normal.
"The exercise measured the preparedness of all relevant emergency response agencies and evaluated the emergency response capabilities and implementation strategies at the airport," the airport operator said in a statement.
The exercise was conducted in accordance with the Emergency Actions Plans requirements issued by the UAE Civil Defence, and in compliance with the standards and recommendations of the Abu Dhabi Occupational Safety and Health Centre.
