North Yorkshire Water Park provided the setting for the multi agency exercise earlier.
The training event involved the use of boats, helicopters and drones as the county's emergency services took part in a joint exercise.
Organisations taking part in the event included North Yorkshire Fore and Rescue, North Yorkshire Police, Yorkshire Ambulance Service NHS Trust, His Majesty's Coastguard, the Helicopter Emergency Medical Service and Mountain Rescue teams.
