Evaluation 01
Evaluation 01 : (1) (Emergency management application): A systematic assessment process that leads to judgments and decisions about plans, programs or policies (adapted from Schalock, 2001). "Informal" evaluation is also recognized as an ongoing and important activity of an emergency management program. It can be "formalized" by objective documentation of the assessment activity and its findings. (2) (Program evaluation application): One or more processes for interpreting the data and evidence accumulated through assessment practices. Evaluation determines the extent to which program outcomes or program objectives are being achieved, and results in decisions and actions to improve the program. "Evaluation" is distinguished from "assessment" in this application (see "Assessment") (adapted from American Board of Engineering and Technology). (3) (DHS Risk Lexicon): Process of examining, measuring and/or judging how well an entity, procedure, or action has met or is meeting stated objectives. (DHS Risk Lexicon 9/08). Evaluation is the step in the risk management cycle that measures the effectiveness of an implemented risk management option. (DHS Risk Lexicon 9/08)
