INSTRUCTIONS Introduction This form is intended as a tool for the observer to use in cbserving and j
There are several different " modules" evaluating an exercise.
corresponding to different observer assignments; an observer assigned to the EOC should have the "EOC Module", an observer assigned to the Emergency The News Center should have the " Emergency News Center Module", and so on.
j l
module you have should correspond to your assignment.
The You should bring the form along with you when you go to observe.
questions in it will serve as a useful guide concerning what to look for.
j i
You may wish to fill out some or all of the questions while on location.
Some, responses may already be marked as N/A because the activity is NOTE:
rated under another part of the response organization.
Directly below is a short explanatic, of what is in the form and how to fill it out; please read this explanation as soon as possible.
l Concept of Form and Instructions for Use (1) Structure and Fonnat.
Each module is composed of several sections. Each section is about a particular part of the emergency activities - for example, " equipment,"
" communications," or " dose assessment." Each section has two parts.
The first part is a series of questions for you to rate the performance. The second part is a summary section, with space to write a ncrrative essay summarizing your overall impressions.
(2) Rating Questions. You have four options when answering these questions:
Satisfactory, Unsatisfactory, N/A, and N/0.
" Satisfactory" means that personnel and equipment performed o
at an acceptable level.
Errors noted were not severe and the task was completed in an acceptable manner. For example, if personnel are to check their dosimeters once every 15 minutes, but the person you are observing checks his dosimeter only 7 of the 8 times he should in 2 hours2.314815e-5 days <br />5.555556e-4 hours <br />3.306878e-6 weeks <br />7.61e-7 months <br />, his performance is satisfactory. However, your narrative summary should explain the rating.
" Unsatisfactory" means that personnel and equipment o
There were generally performed below an acceptable level.
deficiencies of a significant nature. The area's ability to l
l carry out its function was significantly impaired.
l l
1 l
- 1. -
e
"N/A" stands for "not applicable." For example, i f th e o
personnel observed did not have dosimeters, then the question, "were their dosimeters properly zerced or checked?
should be "not applicable".
In some cases, a whole section may be not applicable.
or example, if you will be
~
observing a local E0C, most likely the section (in your EOC I
module) on " Media Relations" will not be applicable, since media relations are conducted at another f acility.
"N/0" stand for "not observed"; meaning you do not know or o
cannot judge whether the activity was done properly.
If something should have been done (or should have been there) but wasn' t, then you should mark " unsatisfactory".
(3) Short answer questinns. These are generally self-explanatory.
Most are infonnational, asking you to list the participants at your location, or to describe a certain procedure observed, etc. Some call for you to record a specific event, e.g. who made a certain phone call, or when someone arrived. Be alert f or these events.
l (4) Sumary. On the sumary page, you should write a brief essay (one paragraph to one page) to describe and evaluate the 1
activities and resources covered by that section. Describe the resources available and what occurred, in your own words. You should cover the main points raised in the rating and snort l
answer questions, and any other observations you consider relevant; explanations of " Satisfactory" or " Unsatisfactory" answers are also appropriate and are encouraged.
Miscellaneous Notes (1) The front cover of the critique form has blank lines for you to write your name, assignment, etc.
(2) Pl ease do not use blue ink - it does not photo-copy.
Please note: The observations and judgements recorded on this form will be the basis for future reports and decisions. Be thorough and clear; this will avoid the necessity of contacting you later for clarification.
