The drill simulated a situation of evacuation starting from the survivors being brought out of the cave, taken onto ambulances, screened of their conditions and delivery to waiting helicopters. The conditions of the survivors are classified into 13 levels with the first 1-12 levels being classified as normal and the 13th as “red” which requires utmost attention.
The governor said the drill confronted organizational problems, such as the first ambulance could not get out of the cave area because the road was blocked by other vehicles which are not involved in the search and rescue operations and that ambulances from outside the locality were not familiar with the route to the cave.
