Scenario Village (Español): Difference between revisions

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.  

==== Exercise Timeline ====

'''Before you visit the Scenario Village facility,''' please view the section on [[how to prepare for the exercise]] and arrive ready to go.

If Players or others have questions or observations they would like to add, they should [mailto:net@portlandoregon.gov email] a NET Coordinator.

Note that delays can and do happen, and the schedule is adjusted accordingly in those situations.

== 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.

===== 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.

== 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?
