Information for exercise preparation (AIT Austrian Institute of Technology GmbH.)

In everyday life first responders have access to information about the they are going to encounter at the incident site in order to be able to prepare mentally but also select their equipment accordingly. In exercise evaluation providing this kind of information is imperative, too.

Secure cross-agency documentation, sharing and tracking (STAMINA)

Efficient and secure sharing of the data necessary for decision making has proven to be challenging in the recent COVID-19 crisis.

Skogsbränder: klimatförändringar (DRMKC)

Förståelse för hur framtida klimatförändringar kommer att påverka skogsbränder och därmed förenade utsläpp av växthusgaser i Europa och globalt är viktigt för att kunna fastställa potentialen för skogar att anpassa och begränsa klimatförändringar.

Training and assessing the level of preparedness (STAMINA)

Training the individuals and organisations and testing their preparedness level increases the resilience and exposes the shortcomings that need to be handled.

Contact tracing and backtracing (STAMINA)

Contact tracing (also known as partner notification) is a primary means of controlling infectious diseases such as tuberculosis (TB), human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), and sexually transmitted diseases (STDs). Contact tracing has also played an important role in controlling the COVID-19 spread. Backtracing is similar to contact tracing, but concentrates on tracing back the movements of infected persons. Similar functionality may be required in other types of crisis, e.g. 

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 exercise 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.

ACCESS TO ALL TYPES OF IN-GAME COMMUNICATIONS (INEGMA-E²)

The evaluating staff must have full / unrestricted access to all the media through which the target audience communicates.

Assistance in border crossing for international participants (AIT Austrian Institute of Technology GmbH.)

When organizing an exercise with the participation of people from different countries and areas it has to be taken into account that border crossing is inevitable in order to enable the conduction of the exercise.

INVOLVEMENT OF EVALUATORS IN EXERCISE DEVELOPMENT (INEGMA-E²)

In order to properly calibrate the evaluation process with the specific objectives and goals of the exercise.

Anticipation of actions and decisions of participants (AIT Austrian Institute of Technology GmbH.)

The organization of an exercise also involves planning of the decisions and actions exercise participants might take when being confronted with new injects.
