AROverall recommendations (1)
Teams / Participants: Look beyond area boundaries. Intensive information exchange. Decisions more responsive.
Secure the top regional harmonization and coordination (crisis communication / evacuation / assistance).
Crisis communication: needs clear roles and responsibilities between security region and province
More attention for mid-term and long-term. Scenario thinking.

AROverall recommendations(2)
Make more use of plots / maps (integrated imaging). Especially cross-regional. Layout the entire problem.
Make more use of systems such as HIS-viewer and FLIWAS. Also to support decision making.
Give more publicity to disaster management plans for dike rings.
Practice in accordance with local arrangements (legislation / plans).
Do not change the goals shortly before the exercise.
Ensure continuity of preparation. Appoint someone to give overview and direction.
