Evaluation Goals
The goal of exercise evaluation is to validate
strengths and identify improvement opportunities
for the participating organizations.

• Analyzing the data to compare performance
  against expected outcomes
  
• Determining what changes need to be made to the
  procedures, plans, staffing, equipment,
  communications, organizations, and interagency
  coordination to ensure expected outcomes
