to show who the simulated crisis of a wildfire in a fictive non-EU country was developing. This information was used by the participating RescEU module commanders, EUCPT and the ERCC to create situational awareness in the first 24hrs of deployment and to update their information management position in the following days.

The simulated e-mail was used as a fully controlled and monitored version of real e-mail as used in current

Participating first responders, both from local, Styrian services and from EU Civil Protection modules, could read this information. They could even respond to the social media messages or reply to news articles, although accoprding to their own procedures they should not do so.

This exercise lasted for 3 full days, at which the XVR Crisis Media ran full-time, day and night.

IRONORE 2019.

A 3D virtual reality model was made of the earthquake striken village of Eisenerz and made available in XVR On Scene. This 3D environment was used for reconnaissance and establishing situational awareness by the EU CP Module commanders and their assistants participating in the DBX. They were able to fly over the village by helicopter and drive/walk through it, to observe the damaged sites and to coordinate which team was working where and where each team's base would be set-up.

XVR Crisis Media was used to simulate local, national and international news channels reporting on the earthquake. Next to these, fictive social media channels were created on which role-played inhabitants of the Eisenerz region posted messages on the effects of the earthquake, about people lost and retrieved and to comment on the
