A release from the Ministry of the Presidency yesterday said that the Orientation Session and Tabletop Exercise, which was conducted at Mahdia, was aimed at familiarising regional stakeholders with the draft Regional Risk Assessment Report and related plans.

The report and plan were developed over a four-month period, which saw several rounds of consultations with regional stakeholders.
