A Scenario Village Exercise is one of the highest quality training opportunities available to NET volunteers. | |||
NET volunteers use the Village several times a year for comprehensive response exercises. In a typical single 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 teams working together. Most exercises last an hour, and teams may have the option of: doing an initial run-through, pausing and assessing successes/deficiencies, and then resetting and exercising again to instill motor memory to successful response routines and practices. | NET volunteers use the Village several times a year for comprehensive response exercises.

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? | With exception, no.
