Who is the intended audience for the Controller/Evaluator (C/E) Handbook?

The Controller/Evaluator (C/E) Handbook is specifically designed for evaluators and controllers. These individuals play a critical role in the planning, execution, and assessment of emergency exercises. The handbook provides guidelines, methodologies, and tools necessary for effectively facilitating and evaluating these exercises. It ensures that evaluators and controllers can accurately assess participant performance, manage the exercise dynamics, and provide constructive feedback for improvement.

In contrast, participants of the emergency exercise and first responders might require different materials that focus more on their roles and responsibilities during an exercise, rather than the evaluative aspects. Community stakeholders, while important to the overall context of emergency management and exercises, are not the primary focus of the C/E Handbook, which is specialized for those directly involved in the assessment and facilitation of drills and exercises.
