During an emergency drill, what should the coordinator NOT focus on?

The focus of a coordinator during an emergency drill should primarily be on the real-time actions and responses of participants to ensure their safety and preparedness for an actual emergency. While meeting FDNY time requirements may be important for compliance, it is not the primary goal of the drill. The essence of such drills lies in training staff and participants on how to effectively respond in a crisis, which includes ensuring safety, reviewing the execution of the drill itself for effectiveness, and verifying that all emergency equipment functions properly.

By prioritizing the safety of participants, assessing how well the drill went, and confirming that equipment is operational, the coordinator enhances the overall preparedness and response capabilities of the facility. This approach ultimately contributes to a more effective emergency management plan that prioritizes human safety over merely meeting regulatory timelines.
