Lead Evaluator
Lead Evaluator :
"The lead evaluator should participate fully as a member of the exercise planning team, and should be a senior-level individual familiar with: prevention, protection, response, and/or recovery issues associated with the exercise; Plans, policies, and procedures of the exercising jurisdiction/organization; Incident Command and decision-making processes of the exercising jurisdiction/organization; and interagency and/or inter-jurisdictional coordination issues relevant to the exercise. The lead evaluator must have the management skills needed to oversee a team of evaluators over an extended process, as well as the knowledge and analytical skills to undertake a thorough and accurate analysis of all capabilities being tested during an exercise".
