The ECC Evaluation Team

• Max Messman, Washington State Emergency Management
• Patty Hopkins, Portland Office of Emergency Management
• Gene Juve, Gresham Emergency Management
• Perry Fladager, Clark County Sheriff's Office(CCSO) and ARES/RACES
• Kari Schulz, CCSO and ECC Public Information Officer
• Deborah Needham, CRCA, Exercise Controller

The evaluation team members were selected for their knowledge and expertise of emergency management or in their assigned evaluation area.  They were given clear, measurable points of review for each of the objectives they were assigned to evaluate. Other evaluators from public safety agencies and the health district were also present at the exercise to evaluate their own agency participation in the exercise. They were not assigned to a formal ECC objective evaluation form, however.

Other Evaluation Input

Additional observers provided helpful written and verbal feedback at the exercise.   Participants filled out a written critique exercise immediately after the exercise. A debrief held on September 19, 2000 in the ECC discussed the written comments and served as a forum for additional comments from the participants, evaluators, and emergency management staff that attended the meeting.  All comments were read and considered in the compilation of the Summary and Detailed Findings.
