|Screen off different areas of SV so that Players cannot look across the room to see what is happening (such as the medical treatment area); being able to do that would not be realistic in a real-world event. In other words, simulate that some activities are taking place in a whole other part of a neighborhood instead of only a few feet away. This would also make radio comms more meaningful in the exercise. ''(suggested by Bob Fischer, 2020.01.18.)''
|Good idea, but not sure what we could use for screening.
|-
|Hot washes should be more succinct. ''(2022.12.03.)''
|Agreed; PBEM should come up with a routine hotwash process.

This short film (made by Gus Van Sant in the early 1980s) was really intended as a parody of industrial culture. But in its own way, the lesson of teaching yourself to move with intent is not a bad one.''|frame}}


* '''Have one or two key phone numbers handy.''' If you are late, or get locked out of an area, be ready to call a fellow NET or PBEM staff in the exercise so someone can let you in.

* If inclined and you have time to, '''skim through the [https://www.ready.gov/sites/default/files/2019.CERT_.Basic_.PM_FINAL_508c.pdf Basic CERT textbook]'''. Give particular attention to scene sizeup, conducting interior search operations, triage, patient carries, ICS document use, treating life threatening conditions (the "three killers"), head to toe assessment, wound care, and fracture treatment.

*'''Prepare for some stress.''' For the exercise to be a meaningful training experience, the exercise designer is going to introduce some level of stress. If you find the exercise easy, the exercise designer did their job poorly. If you find an exercise ''too'' stressful, ask your Incident Team Leader or the exercise proctors to turn it down, and/or check out with your Team Leader and take a break on the observation deck.
*'''Prepare for some stress.''' Scenario Village training is intended to be ''tolerably'' stressful so that participants can experience, and practice managing, stress induced impairment of the brain functions that are most sensitive to stress: executive function, sensory awareness, attention, and memory.<ref>Quoting this [https://hcpaw.portlandoregon.gov/u/xqPeQS8j3iTUo95C/08072591-2b69-455c-8333-c416ac6535c4?l from a paper] written 2023.11.07 by Nick McCullar, NW District NET, based on the work found in:
 
Hristić, Ana. 2023. “Foundations of TIC.” Presented at the EMCR 587 Fall 2023, Class Session 5, Portland State University, October 24.</ref> For the exercise to be a meaningful training experience, the exercise designer is going to introduce some level of stress.

*'''The exercise is not a competition''' between volunteers on a shift. On the contrary, as they would in the real world, PBEM encourages Players to work collaboratively.

*'''Don't fret about "failure" or "making mistakes".''' As long as everyone walks away from the exercise uninjured (in the real-world) the only way you can "fail" is by not learning anything. Use the Scenario Village space and time to make mistakes and experiment; that's exactly why we exercise. It is strange the number of volunteers who walk away from Scenario Village feeling unsettled, even dispirited, like they "didn't do a good job".  As long as you learn from the exercise, you did a good job. Go get some (locally made) ice cream when it's over, OK? You earned it.
