There was an extensive debriefing session on what worked and what 
didn't.  How to really handle the situations that come up.  FEMA 
evaluator praised the operation.

One of the biggest issues was the setting up of the cots.  There were no 
instructions and they were difficult to setup due to the way they folded.

This was the last CSEPP related exercise. The RC has intentions of doing 
more exercise on their own to keep everybody trained.
