Tools to gather and analyze the gathered information
Endorsed by
Motivation
The evaluator has to gather a lot of information, later analyse it and produce (first impression) reports, which is a difficult task that could be made easier by using modern tools such as applications on a phone or a tablet.
Potential Solutions
There is a need for an easy-to-use tool, that the evaluators can bring with themselves even in a difficult scenario such as a confined space at an urban search and rescue exercise. The tools should help the evaluator to gather the information in an organised manner, and be of good use, when later the information needs to be analysed. It should work offline too.
Rationale & related CM function(s)
Tool rationale
- Chosen exercise type, such as Tabletop Exercise (TTX), Command Post Exercise (CPX), or Full Scale Exercise (FSX)
- Communication structure and protocols used to communicate between evaluation staff and other relevant actors
- Equipment used to communicate between evaluation staff and other relevant actors
- Pre-defined checklists or forms to log observations throughout an exercise
- Possible options of documenting perceptions (e.g. text, photos, videos, audio recordings, drawings, map annotations, etc.), which can be utilized for evaluation
- Tools and methods to process perceptions in order to generate evaluation insights (e.g. through efficient compilation, analysis, data visualization, etc.)
