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.
