    Read Explanation:

    The 'FEEL' principle in Search and Rescue (SAR) operations is about a rescuer's internal assessment and confidence. It involves developing a strong conviction in the accuracy of the information gathered (verified facts), understanding the level of danger present at the scene, and having a realistic evaluation of their own skills and capacity to effectively handle the situation. Gathering information, while crucial, is part of the 'LISTEN' principle.

        2. They might have been developed in discussion-based exercises.
        3. Smaller drills play no role in refining these plans.
        4. Their effectiveness is evaluated through implementation during comprehensive exercises like mock exercises.
