Facilitators

The delivery of WISE depends on the expertise of the Facilitator, who will work with each Crisis Management Team. Their purpose is to ensure the Crisis Management Team has access to the technology needed to participate in the exercise, organize the logistics, and during the exercise to ensure the Crisis Management Team gets the most learning from the experience. They do not help the Crisis Management Team to respond, but do ensure they stay focused, and that the scenario does not leak in to the 'real world'.
