During an interactive critique of a simulated disaster, which topic should not be addressed during the session?

• A. Lessons learned from the exercise
• B. Roles and responsibilities of participants
• C. Personal grievances or conflicts unrelated to the exercise
• D. Resource gaps identified during the exercise

Answer: (C)

During the critique of a simulated disaster, the focus is on improving how the incident was managed: what actions were taken, who was responsible for them, and what resources were available or lacking. Personal grievances or conflicts unrelated to the exercise do not belong in the debrief because they don’t help enhance incident management and can derail learning. The session should stay aimed at practical improvements—lessons learned, clarified roles and responsibilities, and identified resource gaps to address. If interpersonal issues arise, handle them separately through the appropriate channels to keep the critique productive and safe for all participants.
