hädaabimenetlustest
hädaabimenetlustest is a structured procedure used by emergency services and communication authorities to assess and improve the reliability and efficiency of emergency response infrastructures. The term originates from Estonian, where “hädaabi” means emergency, “netlus” refers to network, and “test” indicates a testing operation. The test is designed to simulate real‑world emergency scenarios, evaluating how quickly and accurately calls are routed, how alert systems disseminate warnings, and how first‑responder units are dispatched.
During a hädaabimenetlustest, simulated emergency calls are made to emergency call centers (e.g., 112 in Estonia).
Results from these tests are recorded and analyzed by the national Institute of Technical Environment or equivalent
hädaabimenetlustest is performed annually or during major infrastructure upgrades. It enables continuous quality assurance for emergency
