Strategic

Faciliate matching of CDM solutions to capability needs (DRIVER+)

  1. Faciliate expressing the practitioners needs and Gaps.
  2. Faciliate the understanding of these needs by owners, so that they can develop and advertise the innovative Solutions resolving them.
  3. Faciliate discovering of the innovative Solutions addressing the needs and Gaps.
Strategic

Assessment of cross vulnerabilities (DRIVER+)

Limitations in the cross vulnerabilities (people, property, environment) to optimize task prioritization and decision making.

Strategic

Rapid identification of hazardous agents and contaminants (IFAFRI)

The ability to rapidly identify hazardous agents and contaminants

Strategic

Providing medical assistance to casualties (DRIVER+)

Barriers in to provide medical assistance to casualties either by transporting them to a safe place or bringing medical service to the scene (when medical care is not provided by firefighters’ units) - especially in forest fires.

Strategic

Resource planning for large scale and long-term crises (DRIVER+)

Limitations in the planning of resources (qualified personnel and equipment) for during large scale and long-term

Strategic

Forest fires: climate change (DRMKC)

Understanding how future changes in climate will affect forest fires and associated emissions of greenhouse gases, in Europe and globally, is important to determine adaptation and potential of forests.

Strategic

Forest fires: fire ecology (DRMKC)

Understanding ecosystem's vulnerability and potential to adapt to such changes can help developing proactive and post-fire regeneration strategies.

 

Strategic

Forest fires: social aspects (DRMKC)

Understanding how the changes in social and economic characteristics of the population can create conditions of increased fire across the various regions and countries, is a prerequisite to reduce the level of exposure of local communities through better landscape planning.

Strategic

Forest fires: fire meteorology and danger rating (DRMKC)

Danger rating index is an important real time indicator for the fire fighters. It sums up constant (fuels, topography) and variable (weather) factors that affect the initiation, spread and difficulty of control, and subsequent fire damage of wildfires on an area in a single number that can be easily visualised and used for early alerting.

Achievement of the participants' goals during the exercise (INEGMA-E²)

As an evaluator one has to have a good understanding of what the participants want to achieve to be able to know, whether the scenarios of the supported these learning opportunities or not.

Evaluation of achievement of strategic goals (INEGMA-E²)

In strategic exercises the achievement of (pre-set) goals has to be validated. These are usually related to decision-making processes. Due to a variety of criteria and nuances in conditions for achievement this can pose a challenge to evaluators.

Registering the descriptive information (metadata) illustrating the circumstances of the observed exercise events (e.g. time, place, etc.), for future evaluation (INEGMA-E²)

To collect as much as possible information (metadata) describing the circumstances of the . This approach is in accordance with commonly used the evidence-based methodology, helping to draw more credible conclusions. The excessive registered information may be omitted during analysis, but unregistered information cannot be easily retrieved.
