This phase focuses on increasing the capability of the Region/Installation to effectively prevent and mitigate the potential effects of, response to, and recovery from all hazards identified in the risk management process.
-
Mitigation
-
Preparedness
-
Recovery
-
Response
-
Prevention
Correct Answer
A. PreparednessExplanation
Preparedness is the correct answer because it refers to the phase that focuses on increasing the capability of a region or installation to effectively prevent and mitigate the potential effects of, respond to, and recover from all hazards identified in the risk management process. This phase involves activities such as planning, training, and exercising to ensure that necessary resources, procedures, and systems are in place to effectively respond to emergencies and mitigate their impact.

Navy prevention programs include: (select all that apply)
-
Anti-terrorism
-
Information security
-
Debris management
-
Syndromic surveillance
Correct Answer(s)
A. Anti-terrorism
A. Information security
A. Syndromic surveillanceExplanation
The correct answer is Anti-terrorism, Information security, and Syndromic surveillance. Navy prevention programs aim to address various threats and risks. Anti-terrorism measures are essential to protect against potential terrorist attacks. Information security is crucial to safeguard sensitive data and prevent unauthorized access. Syndromic surveillance involves monitoring and analyzing health data to detect and respond to potential outbreaks or epidemics. Debris management, although important, is not directly related to prevention programs in this context.Rate this question:

The five phases of emergency management follow each other sequentially with no overlap.
-
True
-
False
Correct Answer
A. FalseExplanation
The statement is false because the five phases of emergency management, which are mitigation, preparedness, response, recovery, and evaluation, do not necessarily follow each other sequentially with no overlap. In reality, these phases often overlap and interact with each other during the course of managing an emergency. For example, preparedness activities can occur simultaneously with mitigation efforts, and response efforts can begin while recovery activities are still ongoing. Therefore, the phases of emergency management are not strictly sequential.Rate this question:
-
- 13.
As an EM, the medical assets you are coordinating with, during the preparedness phase, are under the same chain of command as you.
-
True
-
False
Correct Answer
A. FalseExplanation
During the preparedness phase, the medical assets that an Emergency Manager (EM) coordinates with may not necessarily be under the same chain of command as the EM. In many cases, medical assets such as hospitals, clinics, and medical personnel operate under their own organizational structures and reporting lines. While the EM may collaborate and communicate with these assets to ensure coordination and preparedness efforts, they do not have direct command and control authority over them. Therefore, the statement is false.Rate this question:

-
Mitigation
-
Prevention
-
Recovery
-
Preparedness
Correct Answer
A. ResponseExplanation
The correct answer is Mitigation. Mitigation refers to the actions taken to reduce or eliminate the risks and impacts of hazards. In this phase, the focus is on addressing all hazards, regardless of their cause, and taking measures to minimize their potential impact on assigned missions and the population. This can include implementing preventive measures, such as building codes and regulations, as well as implementing strategies to reduce vulnerability and increase resilience to hazards.Rate this question:

Within the CNIC organization, there are two major initiatives that changed how business is conducted. Identify these two initiatives:
-
Operationalization
-
Preemption
-
Forecasting
-
Regionalization
Correct Answer(s)
A. Operationalization
A. RegionalizationExplanation
The two major initiatives within the CNIC organization that changed how business is conducted are operationalization and regionalization. Operationalization refers to the process of implementing and executing operational strategies and plans effectively. It involves converting theoretical concepts into practical actions to achieve organizational goals. Regionalization, on the other hand, involves decentralizing decision-making and operations to regional levels. This allows for better adaptation to local conditions and more efficient resource allocation. Both initiatives aim to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the organization's operations and enhance its ability to meet the needs of different regions.Rate this question:

During which time period should the HAZMAT team have completed initial medical screening of the entry team and begun the first entry in Level A or the appropriate level of PPE, as determined by the IC?
-
~ 0 - 5 minutes
-
~ 5 - 10 minutes
-
~ 20 - 30 minutes
-
~ 45 - 60 minutes
-
~ 60 - 90 minutes
Correct Answer
A. ~ 45 - 60 minutesExplanation
The HAZMAT team should have completed initial medical screening of the entry team and begun the first entry in Level A or the appropriate level of PPE, as determined by the IC, within 45-60 minutes. This time period allows for the necessary preparations and assessments to be made before the team enters the hazardous area. It ensures that the team has enough time to properly equip themselves and follow safety protocols, minimizing the risk of exposure to hazardous substances.Rate this question:
