*''' | *'''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. | * '''Exercise the way you would respond.'''

===== Preparing yourself mentally ===== | |||
*'''Prepare yourself 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. | |||
*'''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. | |||
