– SPARROW TTX in Cyprus
A high-impact Tabletop Exercise was successfully delivered in Cyprus under the SPARROW Project framework, focusing on complex, multi-layered crisis scenarios involving multiple cascading disasters affecting the Vasilikos Energy Centre—one of the country’s most critical energy hubs.

The exercise brought together the full spectrum of national authorities, critical infrastructure operators, and key stakeholders, reinforcing a whole-of-system approach to crisis management.

With the presence of the Director General of the Ministry of Energy and the Director General of the Cyprus Employers & Industrialists Federation, the exercise highlighted the importance of public–private coordination in managing large-scale, interconnected disruptions across sectors.

As the scenarios evolved, SPARROW tools and technologies were applied in a dynamic environment, enabling real-time interaction with end-users and capturing valuable feedback from frontline professionals involved in crisis prevention and response.
