With helicopters, trucks and drones, Lagos emergency agency holds emergency response simulation
The Akinwunmi Ambode led government in Lagos State is taking its quest to make the state safe for its citizens very serious.
The LASEMA (Lagos State Emergency Management Agency) Response Unit staged an emergency response simulation exercise at the Lekki toll gate.
And for a minute, passers-by were scared as they drove past the LASEMA team along the Lekki-Toll gate only to realise it was a simulation exercise.
The simulation exercise was carried out to improve response times and evaluate the agency’s ability to execute its response plans in case of emergency.
The exercise simulated an accident between a tanker and a single vehicle with two casualties trapped inside the vehicle. The casualties were extracted and conveyed from the scene within five minutes with the help of an RRS air ambulance and an LRU mobile intensive care ambulance (MICA).
