On Thursday, June 11, 2026, the „Blackout 2026“ drill will take place in Olomouc.
With the participation of emergency services and crisis management authorities from both the city and the region, the drill will simulate a large-scale power outage in part of Olomouc, with the potential to affect surrounding municipalities.
Palacký University will not be directly affected by the exercise; however, there may theoretically be short-term disruptions, such as signal or power outages. The operations of the Olomouc City Hall will be limited, as it will operate in crisis mode; longer lines at service counters and short-term disruptions to services or telephone connections can be expected.
