Proctors are a critical part of the scenario village exercise experience.

Every Scenario Village exercise should include ''at least'' two proctors, and preferably more. There are several different proctor roles, and an exercise with few proctors will mean each individual proctor taking multiple roles. | |||

== Preparing to Proctor == | |||
Before heading to Scenario Village, bring a clipboard, paper, and something to write with. Before the exercise begins, make sure you: | |||
* '''Know the scenario:''' Maybe an earthquake just happened, we are on a typical city block, several survivors are scattered throughout the village with various injuries, they need assistance, and here comes a NET team… | |||
* '''Know the objectives of the exercise:''' Why is the exercise coordinator doing this? Generally this is to provide a team of NETs and opportunity to practice ICS, radio, search & rescue, and medical triage skills. | |||
* '''Know the NET players’ objectives:''' Is this an easier scenario for first-time players? Or is this a more complex scenario for a team that wants to really practice a very specific set of advanced skills? You’ll want to know what you should be evaluating. | |||
* '''Familiarize yourself with the Village''' if you haven’t been there before. You can download a map [https://hcpaw.portlandoregon.gov/u/4hCPVguQj0rwEI9V/9fca2bef-4c86-4a88-aa99-2688f027902a?l HERE]. | |||
* <u>Do a safety walk-through before the actors come in.</u> | |||
* '''Ask the Exercise Coordinator if there will be any injects,''' and if you are providing them; when, where and how. Injects could be gas release sounds or an announcement that an aftershock just occurred, etc. | |||
* '''Know any simulations you’ll need to provide.''' For example, telling players if they touch a “live” electrical wire and have to sit out for 5 minutes due to injury, or you may pretend to be the operator if a player pretends to call 911. | |||
Once you have this information, you can choose to create a checklist of critical tasks – specific actions that are required for players to meet their goals, formally known as capability targets. By creating a checklist in advance, you become a more thoughtful, objective, and consistent evaluator. Since teams may run through this exercise two or even three times in a session, consistent evaluation will clearly show where they improve over time. The formal HSEEP Exercise Evaluation Guide for search, rescue, and triage can be found here. Feel free to use it, or to develop your own checklist format. | |||
