Emergency actions are taken at the early stage of a disaster with the purpose of preventing injuries or loss of life and:
A . determining the extent of property damage.
B . preserving environmental conditions.
C . ensuring orderly plan activation.
D . reducing the extent of operational damage.
Answer: D
Explanation:
During an incident, emergency actions should minimize or eliminate casualties and damage to the business operation, thus reducing business interruptions. Determining the extent of property damage is not the consideration; emergency actions should minimize, not determine, the extent of the damage. Protecting/ preserving environmental conditions may not be relevant. Ensuring orderly plan activation is important but not as critical as reducing damage to the operation.
