Ahmedabad Prepares for Four‑Hour Mock Drill and Simulated Blackout.
Ahmedabad blackout mock drill In a first‑of‑its‑kind preparedness exercise, Ahmedabad District Collector has announced a citywide mock drill tomorrow evening.
From 7:45 pm to 8:15 pm, residents will experience a planned power cut as authorities test emergency response systems.
This Ahmedabad blackout mock drill will simulate real‑life crisis scenarios—storm‑induced outages, traffic signal failures, and communication breakdowns—
to ensure that hospitals, fire services, and disaster teams can respond swiftly under pressure. Critical infrastructure, including municipal water pumps and cellular towers, will remain on backup power, while volunteers and first responders practice rapid mobilization.
Why It Matters?
- Public Safety: A rehearsal for large‑scale power failures, reducing response times if a real blackout occurs.
- System Resilience: Tests backup generators at key hospitals and traffic intersections.
- Community Awareness: Encourages citizens to keep flashlights, phone batteries, and emergency kits ready.
District Collector Rao stressed, “This exercise will highlight gaps in our readiness and allow us to fine‑tune coordination among agencies.” Businesses, schools, and residential societies have been urged to cooperate by shutting non‑essential systems and reporting any safety concerns during the drill.
