Answer 1

Answer:

A. 2, 3

• A robust evaluation methodology is essential to maximize the learning value of any DMEx. It provides a structured approach to assess the exercise's effectiveness. This methodology enables the quantification of results, offering objective data on performance. Crucially, it helps in identifying both strengths (areas of good performance) and weaknesses (areas needing improvement). The insights gained from such an evaluation are actionable, guiding future training, resource allocation, and policy adjustments to enhance overall disaster preparedness and response capabilities.
