Exercise is a broad term for any activity that helps emergency responders plan for and practice their organizational response to an incident.
Evaluation is the act of observing and recording exercise activity or conduct, assessing behaviors or activities against exercise objectives, and noting strengths, weaknesses, deficiencies, or other observations.
