NET volunteers use the Village several times a year for comprehensive response exercises. In a typical exercise, NETs conduct search and rescue, triage, medical treatment, radio communications, SUV management, and leadership/delegation to respond to [[moulaged]] Survivors. A single exercise at Scenario Village can include distinct neighborhood teams or members from many neighborhoods blending into a team and working together.

|'''Survivor'''
|'''Survivor'''
|"Survivors" are actors in the scenario playing as injured (for Players to render aid to) or uninjured (who may provide resources or disrupt the response effort). Injured Survivors often wear moulage to simulate their injuries. Injured Survivors will also wear a blue lanyard with a card that displays patient information such as breathing rate and other injury descriptions, to act as clues for how Players should triage and treat them. The reverse side of the card in the lanyard reveals whether they are Green, Yellow, Red, or Black.

*'''Exercise the way you would respond.''' Be ready to put your team's [[Operations Plan]] into action if you have one. For equipment, with the exception of sharp/cutting instruments, bring the equipment you would bring in a real deployment. Doing these things will reveal the best and the deficient practices in how you prepare equipment and organize your team.

* '''The experience of individual Players will vary.''' For example, a Player who remains at the command post to relay radio traffic will have a significantly different experience from a Player extricating Survivors. PBEM's hope is that individual teams will ultimately have multiple opportunities to participate in these exercises, allowing for Players to try out different roles.

*'''If you happen to see any [[moulaged]] Survivors, avoid looking at them if possible.''' That's like seeing answers before an exam. Anyway, staring at someone's injuries is just rude.
