  6. Course Objectives (2 of 2) • Practice evaluation observation, data analysis, and report writing skills • Describe post-exercise analysis activities • Explain the purpose and format of the After Action Report/Improvement Plan (AAR/IP) • Describe how a Corrective Action Program (CAP) translates exercise outcomes into continual improvements to preparedness 2010 National REP Conference

  9. Course Background • Original course introduced by FEMA in 1992 • In 2002, DHS developed and introduced the Homeland Security Exercise and Evaluation Program (HSEEP) • All-hazards • Performance- and capabilities-based • All levels of government • DHS and FEMA have worked collaboratively to standardize the language and concepts used in the exercise evaluation process. • This course updated to reflect HSEEP guidance 2010 National REP Conference

  10. Activity: Defining an Exercise What is an Exercise? Why do we Exercise? 2010 National REP Conference

  11. Defining an Exercise • A focused practice activity that places players in a simulated situation • Conducted to support an overall assessment of a capability • Primary benefits: • Individual and team training • System improvement • Critical component of preparedness cycle 2010 National REP Conference

  12. Activity: Defining Exercise Evaluation What is Exercise Evaluation? 2010 National REP Conference

  13. Defining Exercise Evaluation Exercise evaluation is the act of: • Reviewing or observing and recording exercise activity or conduct • Assessing/analyzing behaviors and activities against exercise objectives/standards • Noting strengths, weaknesses, deficiencies, or other observations 2010 National REP Conference

  14. Activity: Importance of Exercise Evaluation & Improvement Planning Why is Exercise Evaluation and Improvement Planning Important? 2010 National REP Conference

  15. Importance of Exercise Evaluation & Improvement Planning (1 of 2) • Exercise evaluation • Assesses a jurisdiction or organization's performance by identifying strengths and areas for improvement • Improvement planning • Leverages the outputs of the evaluation process by developing Improvement Plans (IPs) • Provides a disciplined process for implementing corrective actions and socializing best practices 2010 National REP Conference

  16. Importance of Exercise Evaluation & Improvement Planning (2 of 2) • Exercise evaluation and improvement planning are critical components of the preparedness cycle • Implementation of corrective actions is the mechanism by which exercises can inform and improve other components of the preparedness cycle 2010 National REP Conference
