The aim of the exercise is to solidify procedures in case of an emergency and to strengthen the cooperation of various Red Cross units, such as between the medical service and the disaster relief service. Among other things, a major accident in an ice rink will be staged. "With Nock Alert 2025, we create a realistic training environment, similar to what one would experience in a real operation," explained Carinthian State Rescue Commander Christian Pichler. The special aspect of the exercise is not only its size but also the variety of scenarios and the close cooperation with other organizations.

The exercise scenarios are intended to be portrayed authentically, according to the Red Cross - for this purpose, trained actors are made up as patients, representing various injury patterns and emergencies. The field kitchens of the Red Cross from Burgenland, Styria, and Carinthia will provide catering for the participants. Around Bad Kleinkirchheim, numerous Red Cross emergency vehicles will be on the move from May 29 to June 1, informed the rescue organization: "Additionally, there will be activities and scenes in several locations that might initially appear to be real emergencies." However, there is no cause for concern. Understanding for possible traffic disruptions is requested.
