The Urban Resilience Exercises would be more systematic and science-based, while they would be conducted without pre-scripted scenarios, Lin said. The urban resilience drills conducted next month would coincide with the computer-assisted phase of the Han Kuang exercises, he said. President William Lai speaks at a Whole-of-Society Defense Resilience Committee meeting at the Presidential Office in Taipei yesterday. The Urban Resilience Exercises on Aug. 6 and 7 would be held alongside the live-fire Han Kuang exercises in Pingtung County and Kaohsiung, Lin said. This year’s Urban Resilience Exercises would place greater emphasis on conflict scenarios to help the public understand how military and civilian efforts are coordinated, Lai said.
