INSTRUCTIONS Introduction This form is intended as a tool for the observer to use in observing and I
evaluating an exercise.
There are several different " modules" corresponding to different observer assignments; an observer assigned to the EOC should have the "EOC Module", an observer assigned to the Emergency News Center should have the " Emergency News Center Module", and so on. The module you have shculd correspond to your assignment.
You should bring the form along with you when you go to observe. The questions in it will serve as a useful guide concerning what to look for.
You may wish to fill out some or all of the questions while on location.
NOTE: Some responses may already be marked as N/A because the activity is rated under another part of the response organization.
Directly below is a short explanation of what is in tha form and how to fill it out; please read this explanation as soon as possible.
Concept of Form and Instructions for Use (1) Structure and Format.
Each module is composed of several sections.
Each section is about a particular part of the cmargency activities - for example, " equipment,"
q
" communications," or " dose assessment." Each section has two parts.
The first part is a series of questions for you to rate the perfomance. The second part is a suunary section, with space to write a narrative essay sunnarizing your overall impressions.
(2) Rating Questiops_.
You have four options when answering these questions:
Satisfactory, Unsatisfactory, N/A, and N/0.
o
" Satisfactory" means that personnel and equipment perfonned at an acceptable level.
Errors noted were not severe and l
tht 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 j
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 />, i
his performance is satisfactory.
However, your narrative summary should explain the rating.
o
" Unsatisfactory" means that personnel and equipment i
generally perfonned below an acceptable level.
There were j
deficiencies of a significant nature. The area's ability to carry out its function was significantly impaired. -
j 1
1
I o
"N/A" stands for "not applicable." For example, if the personnel observed did not have dosimeters, then the question, "were their dosimeters properly zeroed or checked?
should be "not applicable".
In some cases, a whole section may be not applicable.
For example, if you will be
.l observing a local E0C, most likely the section (in your EOC module) on " Media Relations" will net be applicable, since media relations are conducted at another facility.
"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 questions.
These are generally self-explanatory.,
Most are informational, asking you to list the participants at your location, or to describe a cartain procedure observed, 4
etc. Some call for you to record a specific event, e.g. who made a certain phone call, or when someone arrived. Be alert for these events.
(4) Summary. On the sumary page, you shculd write a brief essay ',
tone paragraph to one page) to describe and evaluate the activities and resoun:es covered by that section.
Describe the i
resources available and what occurred, in your own words.
You j
should cover the main points raised in the rating and short 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 fors has blank lines for you to write your name, assignment, etc.
(2) Please do not use blue ink - it does r.ct photo-copy.
Please note: The observations and judgements recorded on this form will be the basis for future reports and decisions.
Be thorough and clearl this will avoid the necessity of contacting you later for clarification.
