The Armed Forces of Malta, Civil Protection Department, Malta Police Force and Mater Dei Hospital recently participated in a joint Search and Rescue (SAR) exercise coordinated by Rescue Coordination Centre (RCC) Malta.

The exercise, which portrayed a scenario with two swimmers lost at sea, provided an opportunity for all participating entities to strengthen operational coordination and communication, and enhance mutual understanding of each organisation's roles and responsibilities during SAR operations.

Through joint training initiatives such as this, emergency services continue to build trust, improve interoperability, and reinforce their shared commitment to safeguarding lives at sea.

The exercise demonstrated the importance of a unified approach to emergency response, with all entities working towards a common objective under the coordination of RCC Malta.
