The Drill™ crisis software has launched its first Arabic-language crisis management platform, offering organizations in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) interactive, bilingual crisis training for critical incidents and crisis situations.
Dubai, United Arab Emirates Apr 24, 2025 – The Drill, a leading crisis management software platform used by prominent global institutions, has introduced the first Arabic-language crisis simulation tool for the GCC region. This bilingual crisis preparedness platform is unique, providing Arabic-speaking organizations in the GCC with access to immersive, real-time crisis training tailored to threats specific to the region.
Since its development in Australia in 2016, The Drill has been transforming how organizations develop crisis response skills through realistic and fully customizable simulations. Designed to address the complex needs of high-pressure sectors like aviation, oil and gas, banking, healthcare, government, and tourism, the platform enables teams to train in both Arabic and English, preparing them for the urgency and stakes of real-world events.
“With rapidly evolving threats such as cyberattacks, fake news, environmental disasters, and stakeholder unrest, crisis readiness in the GCC is more important than ever,” stated Gerry McCusker, Managing Director of The Drill. “We developed this Arabic crisis management tool to address that increasing need.”
Unlike gamified applications or static multiple-choice tools, The Drill offers live, interactive scenario training supported by experienced crisis experts. Organizations can assess their plans, personnel, and decision-making within a secure, scalable hybrid platform—accessible on-site or remotely—that reflects the complexity of actual crisis situations.
The new Arabic version was created after extensive executive training sessions in the UAE, which highlighted the need for a regionally relevant and bilingual simulator. With a dedicated GCC team and local support, The Drill now empowers leadership teams to confidently address emerging threats in real-time.
“The Drill’s customisable crisis response simulator allows teams to learn through practical experience—writing, reacting, and publishing content under pressure, as they would in a real crisis,” added George Noon, GCC-based Senior Advisor. “This isn’t just theoretical; it’s practical, experiential learning designed for high-stakes environments.”
Already recognized for its alignment with leading Australasian educational standards, The Drill is globally recognized as a top-tier crisis simulation software. It now offers GCC clients a crucial advantage: bilingual, expert-led crisis training that prepares teams before crises become public.
