SET Oct 19 2019 Facilitator Guidelines

format and much content cribbed from FEMA docs

This exercise is highly interactive. The decisions made by the participants can alter the flow of the exercise. Suggested 'messages' to be injected as the scenario unfolds, as well as potential responses,are provided in these Facilitator Guidelines. However, depending on the decisions made by the participants, you may need to improvise with your responses. The key to a successful functional exercise is to remain flexible and respond to decisions made by the participants in ways that reinforce the lessons of CERT Basic Training.

The exercise proceeds as follows:

• Present the step-by-step guidelines to the participants. What you say and do will prompt player actions. Some messages involve handing out a document. Those documents are included in this wiki. The forms and materials include:
  • A local BCERT map ( add link to most recent SVG map )
• Give the team a chance to respond. Responses should be in the form of orders or instructions to other team members,or direct communication with other team members. These responses should simulate what would happen in a real-world scenario. For example, after the first message about what the team finds when it arrives on the scene, the IC might say something like “Okay, let’s get organized. Jim, I want you to head up the search and rescue operation. Mary, I want you to take over medical. Will, you’re the logistics officer. Miranda, you handle accountability.”
• Once the response is complete, provide feedback on the potential results of decisions made and discuss as appropriate.
• Move on to the next message / stage / task / scene
• Continue until the exercise is concluded or until time is up.
