[[File:ScenarioVillage.panorama.jpg|alt=Panoramic shot of Scenario Village taken from the observation deck.|thumb|''Foto de Scenario Village tomada desde la plataforma de observación.''|450x450px]]
Scenario Village es un "pueblo simulado" dentro de un espacio cerrado que tiene una superficie de 13,400 pies cuadrados y está administrado por su propietario, la Oficina de Policía de Portland (Portland Police Bureau, PPB), y se ubica en 14912 NE Airport Way. El diseño del pueblo incluye seis edificios de diversas formas y tamaños (comerciales y residenciales), calles, callejones y una plataforma de observación. '''El Ejercicio en Scenario Village es una de las oportunidades de capacitación de más alta calidad disponibles para los voluntarios de NET.'''

Los voluntarios de NET utilizan este pueblo simulado varias veces al año para ejercicios de respuesta integral. En un ejercicio típico, los NET hacen búsquedas y rescates, clasificación de incidentes, tratamiento médico, comunicación por radio, administración de SUV y liderazgo y delegación de labores para responder a los sobrevivientes con moulage. Un solo ejercicio en Scenario Village puede incluir a equipos de distintos vecindarios o a miembros de muchos vecindarios diferentes en un solo equipo que trabajan juntos.

== Descripción general de un ejercicio en Scenario Village ==
Todos los subtítulos de esta sección describen un ejercicio ''típico'' de Scenario Village, pero mucho de lo que se incluye aquí es flexible y puede cambiarse. El pueblo es lo suficientemente versátil como para que el organizador de ejercicios del PBEM considere cualquier cantidad de escenarios de capacitación alternativos o agregue, quite o cambie cualquiera de los elementos del ejercicio que se describen a continuación. El organizador de ejercicios del PBEM es responsable de dar forma apropiadamente a las expectativas sobre el ejercicio si cualquier cosa que se describa en esta sección va a tener un cambio importante.  

Esto se aplica también al escenario de un ejercicio típico de Scenario Village, que sería el siguiente: '''''Los rescatistas de NET responden a emergencias en su vecindario después de un gran terremoto e incidentes con víctimas en masa (IVM) en una tarde de clima despejado.'''''<p><span style="color:#ffffff">...</span></p>

|'''Jugador'''
|Los jugadores interpretan a personal de búsqueda y rescate con una función de participación activa en el ejercicio. Los jugadores discuten y actúan en respuesta a la simulación de emergencia. Llevan sus propios instrumentos de respuesta y "practican mientras juegan".
|style="background: darkorange; color: white"|Gafete de NET o CERT.
|-
|'''Supervisor'''
|Los supervisores trabajan juntos para planear y gestionar el desarrollo del ejercicio y configuran y manejan el lugar del ejercicio. Los supervisores dirigen el ritmo del ejercicio, dan datos clave a los jugadores y pueden dar pistas a algunos jugadores sobre las acciones para asegurar la continuidad del ejercicio. Además, vigilan la duración de las actividades del ejercicio y la seguridad de todos los participantes. Los jugadores y los observadores ''siempre'' deben seguir las instrucciones de los supervisores.
|style="background: firebrick; color: white"|Cordón y portagafete rojo.
|-
|'''Sobreviviente'''
|Los sobrevivientes lesionados a menudo usan moulage para simular sus heridas o lesiones. Los sobrevivientes lesionados también usan un cordón azul con una tarjeta que contiene la información del paciente, como su ritmo de respiración y otras descripciones de sus lesiones y heridas para que los jugadores las usen como pistas para clasificarlos y tratarlos.  
El reverso de la tarjeta indica si son [[Green, Yellow, Red, or Black|verdes, amarillos, rojos o negros.]]
|style="background: navy; color: white"|Cordón y portagafete azul.

|'''Observador'''
|El ejercicio cuenta con observadores invitados y los jugadores no deben dirigirse a ellos ni comunicarse con ellos durante el ejercicio; son "invisibles". Algunos observadores asisten para documentar el ejercicio con fotos o videos. Si eso ocurre, los supervisores informarán a los participantes para que indiquen si no quieren ser fotografiados.

==== Ubicación, reglas y expectativas del ejercicio ====
Scenario Village se encuentra en las instalaciones de la División de capacitación de la Oficina de Policía de Portland, ubicadas en 14912 NE Airport Way         en Portland. Los participantes del ejercicio son invitados por la Oficina de Policía de Portland. La posibilidad de que los NETs sigan haciendo ejercicios en Scenario Village depende de que sigan las reglas de estas instalaciones de alta seguridad. Si muestran una conducta inapropiada, se les puede prohibir que entren a estas instalaciones en forma permanente y se les expulsaría del programa NET en casos graves. 

<span style="color:#ffffff">...</span> 

===== Reglas de las instalacioness =====
* En cualquier circunstancia, '''siga el [[NET Code of Conduct|Código de conduct]]<nowiki/>a de NET.'''
* '''¡LAS PALABRAS MÁGICAS SON "REAL WORLD!"''' Si un jugador, sobreviviente o supervisor observa en cualquier momento algo inseguro o una situación que seguramente se convertirá en algo inseguro, debe gritar "REAL WORLD". En ese momento, todos harán pausa mientras un supervisor evalúa la situación y suspenderá o continuará el ejercicio cuando sea apropiado.
* '''Deje el lugar en mejores condiciones que como lo encontró.''' Limpie toda la suciedad que deje y recoja su basura y otros artículos desechables.
* '''Siga todas y cada una de las instrucciones que le den los directivos y empleados de la PPB'''. Cumpla con todas las reglas que se indiquen en los letreros del lugar.
* '''No puede entrar a ninguna área del edificio aparte del vestíbulo inmediato (incluidos los sanitarios) y la zona del pueblo simulado para el ejercicio,''' a menos que se le dé el permiso correspondiente y sea acompañado por personal de la PPB o del PBEM.
* Cumpla con todos los protocolos de identificación que se le indiquen. '''Probablemente se le dará un brazalete Tyvek con código de color para identificarle como participante del ejercicio.''' No se lo quite mientras esté en el centro.
* '''Excepto cuando esté dentro del Scenario Village, no deje las puertas del resto del centro abiertas al entrar o salir.''' NUNCA ponga cuñas para mantener una puerta abierta ni deje abierta una puerta que se dirige al exterior.

* '''No traiga invitados sin autorización previa del PBEM.''' Si no son voluntarios de NET, es posible que necesiten una revisión de antecedentes penales.
* '''Regístrese cuando llegue.''' Si el empleado del PBEM que dirige el ejercicio es algo despistado y olvida llevar una hoja de registro, haga una y entréguela al PBEM.
* '''No lleve instrumentos filosos o puntiagudos que puedan lastimar a alguien al área del ejercicio''' (excepto las [[Bandage shears|tijeras para vendajes]]). El personal de la PPB las confiscará y se las devolverá antes de salir. Así es, mejor no lleve su preciado estuche de navajas suizas, ni nada parecido.
* '''No deje ninguna marca permanente en ninguna pared.''' Si quiere hacer marcas en los edificios del pueblo simulado, use una hoja de papel (proporcionada por el PBEM).
* '''Use zapatos apropiados de punta cerrada.''' No se permite usar zapatos de tacón alto, sandalias o cualquier otro calzado que deje los pies expuestos en estas instalaciones..
<span style="color:#ffffff">...</span>

===== General tips about facility use and expectations =====
*'''Make extra planning to arrive on time.''' Again, this is a secure building. The front door is locked as are all areas of the building; and, nobody staffs the front desk while the exercise commences. If you arrive late, you have to call someone inside (who may not hear their phone because of background noise) and then someone has to be escorted through locked areas to get you and escort you back.
*'''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 [[Moulage|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.
*'''You will be frisked and your bags thoroughly checked''' by a PPB or PBEM employee. So leave the bazooka at home, ok? It gets awkward when you bring that.
*'''Keep track of which and how much/many disposable supplies you use in the exercise''', and report to PBEM by email after the exercise ([mailto:Net@portlandoregon.gov net@portlandoregon.gov]). Disposable supplies include bandages, emergency blankets, masks, caution tape, and so on. PBEM will have replacement supplies shipped to you shortly after the exercise.<p><span style="color:#ffffff">...</span></p>
==== Exercise Objectives and Core Capabilities ====
The following exercise objectives in the table below describe the expected outcomes for the exercise. The objectives are linked to core capabilities, which are distinct critical elements necessary to achieve the specific mission area(s).
{| class="wikitable" style="width: 50%; margin: left"
|+
!Exercise Objectives
!Core Capabilities
|-
|'''Organize a command post'''
|Leadership/delegation, operations planning, radio communications, organizing/distributing/using documents.
|-
|'''Conduct search for survivors'''
|Size-up, marking buildings, search patterns.
|-
|'''Triage survivors'''
|Injury triage, limited medical treatment, establishing medical triage area.
|-
|'''Survivor recovery'''
|Cribbing, patient packaging, patient transport to treatment area.
|-
|'''Team support radio communications'''
|Proper use of FRS/GMRS radios, frequencies, and tactical communication.
|-
|'''Report to the ECC'''
|Proper use of the [[Damage Assessment Mapping Module|DAMM]].
|-
|'''Manage SUVs'''
|Disaster psychology, volunteer management.
|}
<p><span style="color:#ffffff">...</span></p>
==== Exercise Assumptions and Artificialities ====
In any Scenario Village exercise, assumptions and artificialities ensure completing play in the time allotted and/or account for logistical limitations. Scenario Village participants should accept assumptions and artificialities, and not allow these considerations to negatively impact participation.

* 
* '''Cell service is "down"'''; players cannot use cell phones to communicate with each other. ''However'', participants may use the [[Damage Assessment Mapping Module|DAMM]].
* Because of security rules of the Village, '''players cannot carry cutting instruments/sharp instruments into the exercise area.'''
* Survivors will wear triage cards around their necks with information about their condition such as heart rate, etc. Many "survivors" will also wear [[moulage]] to simulate injuries.
* '''Players are NOT permitted to mark up the buildings in the Village''' (to convey casualties inside, etc). PBEM provides large sticky note pads to write on and place on the outer walls of buildings.
*'''No patient transports on stairs.''' Where Players would normally transport a patient down a set of stairs, the actor will stand up and walk slowly with the responding Players. Once they clear the stairs, they may re-commence a patient transport.
<p><span style="color:#ffffff">...</span></p>
==== Variable Exercise Elements ====
The following exercise factors can be adjusted, added, or removed by exercise proctors to make the exercise more or less challenging.
{| class="wikitable" style="width: 50%; margin: left"
|+
!Element
!Settings
|-
|'''Aftershocks'''
|Proctors can whistle for attention and declare an aftershock is taking place. That might change some elements in the exercise such as injury statuses, missing people, or relevant building damage.
|-
|'''Background noise'''
|Proctors can set up a sound system in the Village with white noise, or play stressful noises such as loud traffic, explosions, chainsaws, people screaming in distress, political stump speeches, [https://vimeo.com/658557339 angry goats], the [https://youtu.be/LANHWwEjOAU?t=63 theme music] from "Conan the Barbarian", and more. Background noise will also interfere with use of tactical radios.
|-
|'''Building damage'''
|Some sides of the buildings may have signs with messages such as "The back of the house has partially collapsed". Players should treat the signs as literal during the exercise.
|-
|'''Downed electrical wires'''
|Proctors may set up downed wires that present a hazard and must be avoided/worked around.
|-
|'''Fallen debris'''
|Fallen debris in the form of wood blocks might cover a Survivor.
|-
|'''Gas meter'''
|A gas meter attached to a building may leak (sound simulated by a [[SCBA tank]]).
|-
|'''Hazardous Materials NFPA 704 diamond'''
|Participants might see an [[wikipedia:NFPA_704|NFPA 704 diamond-shaped]] sign warning of hazardous materials in a building.
|-
|'''Lighting'''
|Proctors can use the artificial light and the large access doors in the Village to control visibility and simulate time of day, up to and including pitch dark. Individual buildings also have exterior and interior lighting.
|-
|'''Persons with Disabilities'''
|One or more Survivors may be using a wheelchair or other assistance device, have a service animal, or have some other condition that bears on how Players choose to respond.
|-
|'''Persons who do not speak English'''
|Players may encounter one or more survivors who do not speak English.
|-
|'''Smoke machine'''
|To simulate high dust (NOT smoke from a [[fire]], which NET volunteers cannot respond to) proctors may set up a smoke machine to reduce visibility for participants.
|-
|'''Strobe'''
|Sometimes a strobe light will be installed in an area to increase the stress and confusion level.
|-
|'''Survivors (injured)'''
|Possibly the most important exercise element is the number and condition of injured Survivors.
|-
|'''Survivors (uninjured)'''
|Uninjured Survivors may be helpful SUVs, unhelpful SUVs, someone providing information, someone trapped, or someone causing trouble.

==== Exercise Improvement Suggestions ====
Over the years, NETs have made suggestions concerning how PBEM might improve the exercise. The collapsed table is a list of things PBEM has not yet tried.
{| class="wikitable mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="width: 50%; margin: left"
|+[[File:C&E.gif|alt=This is a collapsed table. Click "Expand" to the right to expand the contents.|150x150px|left|frameless|border]]<div style="text-align: left; color: blue"><big>An expanding table is here. Click "Expand" to view all content</big>
|+
!Idea
!Notes
|-
|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.

== Preparing for Scenario Village as a Player ==

===== General Preparation for Scenario Village =====

* '''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.
* '''Re-familiarize yourself with your [[FRS/GMRS radio]]''' if you plan to use them.
* If you plan to attend Scenario Village with your team, '''go over your team's [[Ops Plan]]''' and make sure everyone on the team has agreed who will take which roles (particularly [[Incident Team Leader]]).
* '''Check through your response pack.''' Make sure you have everything you need where you plan to find it, and remove sharp instruments.

<span style="color:#ffffff">...</span>[[File:ScenarioVillage.Ross1.jpg|alt=Bob Ross would have made an excellent Scenario Village proctor.|thumb|''Bob Ross would have made an excellent Scenario Village proctor. Are you smarter than Bob Ross? Because I ain't.'']]
===== Preparing Yourself Mentally =====
*'''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.
*'''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.
*'''This is, after all, a police training facility.''' As such, you will see signs of how police train and use the Village when NETs are not in it. Though PPB never uses the Village for live fire exercises, you might see spent blank cartridges. You may notice signs of forced door breaching. If you expect seeing these things will make you feel uncomfortable, you may want to reconsider participation at Scenario Village. Though a shooting range is on site the sound is '''''very''''' well insulated and participants have never commented on hearing gunshots (the range is rarely used on weekends anyway, which is when NETs are typically there).

== Lessons Learned From Scenario Village ==
The table below represents cumulative observations and recommendations from Scenario Village exercises over the years. This list was first compiled by Eva Love with PBEM, and new observations are added iteratively. Readers can sort the list by VSF as well. 

{| class="wikitable mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="width: 50%; margin: left"
|+[[File:C&E.gif|alt=This is a collapsed table. Click "Expand" to the right to expand the contents.|150x150px|left|frameless|border]]<div style="text-align: left; color: blue"><big>An expanding table is here. Click "Expand" to view all content</big>
|+
!VSF
!Observation
!Impact
!Recommendation
|-
|'''VSF 05.01: Incident Team Leader'''
|Plan for less standing around.
The ITL sent in several teams for recon and initial assessment while members of the other team stood out in the cold. (Although we did move inside for the second round).

It would have been better to find a way to utilize everyone or at least switch up the teams so that the same people weren’t left standing around while the first teams did their work.
|Inefficient use of personnel resources.
|ITL could plot out how to shift roles during periods of a response, so everyone has a job to do at a given time.
|-
|'''VSF 09.01 Search & Rescue'''
|Consider whether your flashlight is powerful enough for S&R.
|A weak light leads to hazards and poor observation/situational awareness.
|At some point, PBEM or the NETs should spec out minimum standards for search and rescue flashlights. A cursory internet search suggests 500 to 700 lumens (but, be sure you're not shining it in someone's face when you're rescuing them).
|-
|'''VSF 02: Communications'''
|Need to standardize radio communications; specifically, what to say and in what order, as well as how to hold a radio for best transmission.
|Confusion over radio comms.
|This is something that should certainly be factored into Team Operations Planning.
|-
|'''VSF 05.01: Incident Team Leader'''
|NETs referred to the ITL as the "mothership person".
|Turn of phrase that helped clarify the role of the ITL as someone who does not leave post but has direct reports.
|If a team is suited to it, use the term.
|-
|'''VSF 05.01: Incident Team Leader'''
|Some Incident Team Leads do not give clear objectives when they deploy the team.
|NETs wander around the Village without a clear idea of what they should be doing, or combining goals that should not be combined (e.g. rendering triage but interrupting the effort with medical treatment).
|Incident Team Leads should provide clear objectives to their team, such as "First, do scene sizeup/triage and report back. After you report, we'll begin treating the survivors who need it most. Transport them to a medical treatment area if safe to do so.".
|-
|'''VSF 09.01 Search & Rescue'''
|Volunteers often neglect voice triage just before entering a structure.
|NETs conducting assessment and triage make themselves work harder, lose time, and increase their risk when they neglect to ask Survivors to come to them.
|Strike team leaders should remind the NETs they work with to conduct voice triage before entering a structure. They should say "Hello! We're your neighbors and we're here to help. If you can walk, please walk towards the sound of my voice". Be ready to direct them to a safe gathering area nearby.
|-
|'''VSF 08.04: Treatment Area Manager'''
|Survivors are dumped off at the Medical Treatment Area with no information.
|Time lost when medical treatment NETs duplicate some of the work Search & Rescue NETs have already completed.
|Search & Rescue personnel should provide a brief report or documentation on what they know/don't know concerning the Survivor's condition.
|-
|'''VSF 05.01: Incident Team Leader'''
|Different individuals acted as Incident Commander, ARO, and scribe.
|Having a distinct Incident Commander, ARO, and scribe improves communication and coordination during an exercise.
|There should always be at least one Incident Commander, one ARO, and one scribe. In certain instances, it may be useful to have a scribe for both IC and Ops if they are in different locations. Scribes should also use paper to record current status, incident log, and observations.
|-
|'''VSF 15.03.01: SUV Lead'''
|Incident Commanders, medical, and Team Leaders delegated new roles to SUVs as the exercise scenario changed.
|Doing so kept all SUVs engaged and active. It also helped ICs, TLs, medical, and SUVs adapt and respond to new scenarios.
|Identify roles and assignments at the start of the exercise but be prepared to adapt as needed. IC and Ops should always be anticipating future delegations. SUVs should be ready to change roles at any moment.
|-
|'''VSF 08.04: Treatment Area Manager'''
|Medical was situated near the Incident Commander.
|Communication improved when medical was located near the Incident Commander. Complex information could be shared face-to-face. Additionally, the IC could better monitor the medical staging area and delegate as needed.
|The medical staging area should be located near the IC when possible.
|-
|'''VSF 02.06: Tactical Comms'''
|Participants used tactical callsigns when using radio communications.
|This prevented confusion and saved time during the exercise.
|Encourage NETs to use tactical callsigns during Scenario Village exercises. Standardizing modes of communication will better equip NETs to communicate during actual emergencies. 
|-
|'''VSF 15.03.01: SUV Lead'''
|SUVs were given new tasks when they finished their assignments.
|SUVs successfully adapted to support areas of greatest need as the situation changed.
|Continue emphasizing adaptive exercises during Scenario Village. NETs should be able to focus on a specific task as well as quickly change gears.
|-
|'''VSF 02.03: Team ARO'''
|Communications prior to and during events can be disorganized.
|This makes it difficult to execute the exercise and confuses teams and participants. In certain scenarios, the ARO was overwhelmed by the number of calls being received.
|Communications prep should be conducted before the start of the exercise. There should always be at least one Op Control person assigned to handle the radio traffic while another plans and directs. Radio communications should be repeated to ensure all participants receive them. Continue to work on radio discipline. Complex information should be shared face-to-face when possible – this is easier if the IC has shared their location to everyone and stays put.
|-
|'''VSF 07.02: Documentation Unit'''
|Some participants were not familiar with the use of ICS/CERT forms.
|Some controllers suggested that ICS/CERT forms were not important and participants did not record important exercise information.
|TLs should drill forms with their NET before a comprehensive exercise. NETs should be able to collect necessary information even if forms are not available during an incident. This will better prepare them to respond to real-time emergencies. Consider creating a drill where NETs can test their knowledge of the forms in an exercise. Additionally, make sure that PBEM and PF&R are on the same page regarding the use of forms.
|-
|'''VSF 08.04: Treatment Area Manager'''
|Medical was overwhelmed by the number of SUVs and injured patients. 
|Too many SUVs to supervise and patients to monitor. Medical could only provide superficial head-to-toe exams. 
|If the scenario permits, there should always be additional NETs to support medical. If there are more than two injured people, the Medical Chief should delegate treatment to trained personnel and instead manage intake, triage, paperwork, and resource requests. 
|-
|'''VSF 02: Communications'''
|There was no pre-identified controller for the radio check-ins.
|The radios check-ins were chaotic.
|During an actual emergency deployment, there likely won’t be time to pre-identify a controller. NETs should develop procedures for maintaining organized radio check-ins when there is no pre-identified controller.
|-
|'''VSF 07.02: Documentation Unit'''
|Rain made it difficult to create a written record.
|ICS forms were incomplete and illegible.
|Consider printing ICS/CERT forms on “Rite in the Rain” paper or adding Rite in the Rain notebooks to kits. 
|-
|'''VSF 07.02: Documentation Unit'''
|Not enough scribes.
|Incident Command and Ops had difficulty tracking teams, creating accurate logs, and prioritizing safety.
|It would be helpful to have a scribe to help track team location and status. Developing a system to track movement and team status would also be valuable.
|-
|'''VSF 07.08.01: Mental Health Response'''
|Patients and bystanders experience trauma after disasters and emergencies.
|Some patients struggle to communicate or follow directions because they are traumatized.
|Consider creating a NET class about trauma-informed care.
|-
|'''VSF 09.01 Search & Rescue'''
|NETs conducting S&R sometimes struggle with doors shutting on them.
|Doors that close themselves can impact and interfere with extricating/transporting Survivors from a scene. 
|NETs should carry one or two inexpensive rubber doorstops in their kits.

== Scenario Village Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) ==

===== Q: What time should I arrive? =====
If you are in the AM shift, arrive between 9:00 and 9:30 AM. If you are in the PM shift, arrive between 1:00 and 1:30 PM. Don't be too early, because the doors won't open before your time (you can wait in the parking lot if you are early). And don't be late or you might not get in! Again, address is [https://goo.gl/maps/VMdK4abtXtFcwXSy9 14912 NE Airport Way] in Portland.

===== Q: Is Scenario Village indoors or outdoors? =====
The Village itself is indoors, but there is no climate control in thar. So if it's cold outside, it will be cold in the Village. Players will probably spend a short amount of time (up to 30 minutes) on the other side of the Village's exterior door. Therefore, weather appropriate clothing is, indeed, appropriate.

===== Q: Are there restrooms at Scenario Village? =====
Yes; accessible restrooms both in the lobby and inside the Village. 

===== Q: Will you serve food at the exercise? =====
We provide lunch to Survivors and Proctors, but Players are on their own. Sorry, we need to keep costs down.

===== Q: Should I bring... =====
(INSERT: vest, bandages, [https://krull.fandom.com/wiki/Glaive glaives], pry bar, SKED, ...etc)

The answer to this question is always: ''we don't know...should you?'' Remember: you exercise how you respond. Bring what you would carry in a real response. Think you want to haul around that [[50-pound wrecking bar]]? OK, do it, the Proctors can use the laugh. There are, however, four prescriptive rules concerning what to bring or not to bring:

* You '''''must NOT''''' bring sharp stabby objects. No pocketknives, or multi-tools with pocketknives either. 
* You '''''must NOT''''' bring anything that is clearly a weapon.
* You '''''must''''' wear your NET or CERT ID badge if you have one (even if expired). If you don't have one, let PBEM know.
* You '''''must''''' wear closed-toe footwear.

===== Q: But I can bring bandage shears? =====
Yes; that is the one exception to the don't bring sharp things to Scenario Village rule.

===== Q: My NET ID badge expired. Can I still participate? =====
Yes; wear it anyway. If you let PBEM know ahead of time, someone may be able to bring you an updated badge.

===== Q: Will PBEM replace disposables I used during the exercise? =====
Yes, we have a budget for that. While in the exercise, note down what you use. After the exercise, email [mailto:net@portlandoregon.gov net@portlandoregon.gov] with the list and your mailing address. We will replenish your supplies ASAP. Bandages and other disposable medical supplies, caution tape, grease pencils, you name it.

===== Q: I left something at Scenario Village. How can I get it back? =====
Email [mailto:net@portlandoregon.gov net@portlandoregon.gov] to find out if we picked it up during cleanup. If we did not, you'll want to call PPB Training to see if they have it (503-823-0316). If you had a sharp object that the police confiscated, it will still be at PPB Training and you'll have to arrange pick up with them.

===== Q: Can I borrow equipment from PBEM for this exercise? =====
With exception, no. We used to loan equipment (such as SKEDs or radios) but realized it added to the artificiality of the exercise. Try to borrow from your team members if you can. If PBEM receives a compelling reason to make an exception to this rule, we'll make an exception. Because at the end of the day, we're soft-hearted softies, yeah?

== Scenario Village Program History ==
[[File:ScenarioVillage.Parman.png|alt=Captain Bryan Parman|thumb|''Captain Bryan Parman'']]
The Portland Police Bureau Training Division campus [https://eastpdxnews.com/general-news-features/portland-police-bureaus-new-training-complex-lauded-by-city-officials/ fully opened on September 18, 2014] with Captain Bryan Parman supervising. Captain Parman generously agreed with PBEM that Scenario Village could provide an excellent opportunity for NET training, and allowed Jeremy to conduct the first NET exercise there on May 2nd, 2015. Though Captain Parman has since moved on from the Training Division, subsequent Training Captains have continued to permit NET volunteers to exercise at the facility.
