Procedures that participants follow (INEGMA-E²)

An evaluator needs to know why participants do certain things and whether they follow their own procedures, which are different from those of the evaluator's country, or whether they have no procedures but improvise.

Overcoming language barriers in exercise evaluation (AIT Austrian Institute of Technology GmbH.)

Communication is a relevant factor in collaboration when carrying an exercise into execution. In order to provide a basis for a communication, that makes the integration of all participants possible, language barriers have to be taken into consideration.

Skogsbränder: geografiska mönster och tidsmönster (DRMKC)

Hanteringsåtgärder och insättandet av resurser för att hindra bränder baseras på var och hur bränderna uppstår. Att känna till vad det är som gör ett område särskilt benäget för bränder eller inte är viktigt, inte bara för att bevara dess värden och resurser, men också för att förhindra att framtida hanteringsåtgärder, i synnerhet i områden där bränder ackumuleras, inte leder till ökad sårbarhet för skogsbränder.

Adequate collaboration and communication guidelines and methodology (STAMINA)

Crisis management is a collective effort encompassing various organisations that need to work seamlessly together across domain and administrative borders.

Skogsbränder: brandekologi (DRMKC)

Förståelse av ekosystems sårbarhet och potential att anpassa sig till sådana förändringar kan underlätta att utveckla strategier för proaktivt av skogsbränder och föryngring efter brand.

 

Strategic

Skogsbränder: sociala aspekter (DRMKC)

Att förstå hur förändringar i befolkningens sociala och ekonomiska villkor kan skapa förutsättningar för ökad brandrisk i olika regioner och länder är en förutsättning för att kunna minska exponeringsnivån för lokalsamhällen genom bättre landskapsarkitektur.

Capabilities and expertise of the observers (INEGMA-E²)

Evaluators need to be aware of the topic that shall be evaluated, knowledge is needed on how to evaluate. 

Examples of topics: CBRN, wildfire, flooding.

If participants don't have knowledge about the observer’s knowledge and capabilities and expertise, they will lose trust.

COLLECTION OF FEEDBACK FROM EXERCISE ORGANIZATION AND CONTROL STAFF (INEGMA-E²)

To find out if the exercise was conducted in an optimal way and if the plan of the exercise was respected.

SOP for the evaluator (INEGMA-E²)

  • SOPs for defining methodology and proces of the evaluation based on its type
  • defining the methodology (literature review, interview, , etc.) 
  • should cover all phases of exercise planning/execution
  • model for a final report

Evaluators Assessment (INEGMA-E²)

Evaluators should be from a correct field/have to have expertise in the specific area. If an evaluator of a process is needed, then a generalistic approach would work. Evaluators of evaluators need to have skills in management and processes. Activities from organisational work are needed as well as understanding of evaluation processes.

  • (National/Critical Infrastructure) Sensible Information Security
  • Quality management of the evaluation

Overview of an exercise for evaluators (AIT Austrian Institute of Technology GmbH.)

When conducting an exercise, evaluators play an important role in examining the workflow of the exercise. For them having information about the general setup of the exercise is necessary.

Clear objectives for the exercise (INEGMA-E²)

Without clearly defined objectives it’s impossible to measure if the exercise was successful or not. They are necessary to give value to an exercise.
