CHAPTER 3: Definitions 3-1. Analysis –

According to Seels and Glasgow (1998), “Analysis is collecting and analyzing data to determine needs, tasks, content, and instructional requirements.

3-2. ICE After Action Report (AAR) – The AAR is the document that summarizes key information related to integrated capstone event (ICE) evaluation. The main focus of the AAR is the analysis of objectives and core capabilities. The AAR should include an overview of performance related to each exercise objective and associated core capabilities, while highlighting strengths and areas for improvement. Therefore, evaluators should review their evaluation notes and documentation to identify the strengths and areas for improvement relevant to the participating organizations’ ability to meet exercise objectives and demonstrate core capabilities.

3-3. Course – A series of learning activities designed to train a specific job, function, skills, or abilities.

3-4. Course Acronym – The abbreviation associated with each CDP course.

3-5. Course Completions – The number of students graduated from a class. This is the official reportable number for statistical purposes.

3-6. CTAS Instructional module – A learning activity module designed to train students in the knowledge and skill required to achieve a learning objective and lead by an instructor.

R. Other – Organizations or individuals who perform first response duties that are not included above.

3-11. Electronic Archive System – A digital, centralized record keeping system.

3-12. EAS Audits – A separate individual from the individual who archived the document reviews each document. Reviewer verifies a record is present for all requirements according to the EAS Document Matrix, the record is complete, and record pages are in proper order.

3-13. EAS Index – Searchable listing of records and documents.

3-14. Enabling Learning Objective (ELO) – ELOs provide the level of detail necessary to describe the knowledge and skills that must be learned to demonstrate satisfactory performance of a terminal learning objective.

3-17. FEMA SID Permission Definitions – A. Activate accounts – Activate or Deactivate a FEMA SID. Merged accounts are automatically deactivated. A deactivated account may be because that account holder has died or retired and no longer available to participate in training related events.

B. Override profile requirements – for someone with the “register students” or “edit profiles” permissions, this permission allows saving the account without all the required information. The absolute minimum is First and Last Name and Date of Birth. Without this permission a user cannot save (edit or create) an account without Birth City, Birth Country, Email Address, and Phone Number.

C. Register students – this is only available to a small group of users, but it allows someone to create an account for someone else.

D. Send welcome email – allows sending of the initial email that contains the recipients FEMA SID number. Often used in conjunction with the reset password email.

E. Unlock users – if a user fails to log in successfully after 3 attempts within a time window their account will be locked for 30 minutes. A user with this permission can bypass the 30 minute wait period and unlock the account manually.

F. Register duplicate profiles – as with the Register Students permission this is only available to a small group. It will allow someone with the register student or edit profiles permission the ability to create or edit an account that the system flags as a duplicate. This is used very rarely and is needed for twins and other special cases, since there are times where the automated checked will flag a duplicate even when the student is indeed unique.

3-18. First Responder – Those individuals who in the early stages of an incident are responsible for the protection and preservation of life, property, evidence, and the environment, including emergency response providers as defined in Section 2 of the Homeland Security Act of 2002 (6 United States Code [U.S.C.] § 101), as well as emergency management, public health, clinical care, public works, and other skilled support personnel (such as equipment operators) that provide immediate support services during prevention, response, and recovery operations.

3-19. ICE Hot Wash – Immediately after an integrated capstone event (ICE), each evaluator (or team of evaluators and controllers) should debrief the participants and controllers in his/her observed functional area, either separately or as a group. This facilitated discussion, referred to as a hot wash, allows participants to engage in a self-assessment of their ICE play and provides a general assessment of how the entity performed during ICE. The hot wash also provides evaluators an opportunity to clarify points or collect any missing information from participants before they leave the ICE venue. The hot wash is conducted as soon as possible following ICE. Since ICE is conducted in several venues, each venue will conduct a separate functional area hot wash at each location. Later a large group hot wash is conducted in a large group setting to obtain information on perceptions of the ICE, how well each participant thought his/her functional area performed, and how well the functional area integrated performance with other ICE components. This information can provide insight into why events happened the way they did or why some expected actions did not take place. A hot wash is led by an experienced facilitator who can ensure that the discussion remains brief and constructive, and who can focus conversation on strengths and areas for improvement. Hot wash notes are consolidated for incorporation in the After Action Report (AAR) as appropriate.
