Framework information - "framing the exercise" (INEGMA-E²)
- very useful information - adds on value, pillar for success
- framework information to understand certain actions - to reach certain goals!
- misconceptions of certain actions without knowing the general goals
- without framework information, uncertainty rises and degrades the quality of
- group dynamics and leadership processes, framework information helps to define this structures

- for "context" - available information for decision making (real vs ) and motivation/understanding amongst the audience
Evaluation of Patient Decontamination in CBRN Events (INEGMA-E²)
When CBRN-events are simulated and casualties to be decontaminated, the sucess of the decontamination has to be validated. Due to invisible substances (e.g. gases) and their high hazard potential, it poses a challenge to evaluators in exercises.
Procedures that participants follow (INEGMA-E²)
An evaluator needs to know why participants do certain things and whether they follow their own procedures, which are different from those of the evaluator's country, or whether they have no procedures but improvise.

Capabilities and expertise of the observers (INEGMA-E²)
Evaluators

Examples of topics: CBRN, wildfire, flooding.
