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.

== 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?
