Summary: The level of cooperation and information sharing among participants was rated highly overall. The simulation and control of the exercise proceeded smoothly, and many participants rated this as their best ECC exercise/learning experience yet.

Some participants felt that given the level of flooding simulated, the overall impacts seemed to be light and resources were not overwhelmed. It was noted, however, that by design the exercise intentionally did not include all emergent aspects of a major flood (such as coordination of volunteer sandbaggers). The purpose of the exercise was to focus learning and testing around the stated objectives.

The level of cooperation and information sharing in the ECC was excellent. Some participants were reluctant to interject opinions or ask questions that needed to be asked. The post-exercise debrief pointed out the importance of assertiveness in bringing up alternative viewpoints, questioning information that seems incorrect, or actively seeking the answers to questions that no one else seems to be pursuing.
