    Correct Answer
    B. Disaster case management
    Explanation
    Disaster case management is the process of organizing and providing a timely, coordinated approach to assessing disaster-related needs. It involves coordinating various resources and services to ensure that the needs of individuals affected by a disaster are met efficiently and effectively.

    Rate this question:

  • 2. 

    Supervisors and case managers will be deployed anytime a disaster receives a federal declaration:

    • A. 

      True

    • B. 

      False

    Correct Answer
    B. False
    Explanation
    Supervisors and case managers will not be deployed anytime a disaster receives a federal declaration. The statement is false because the deployment of supervisors and case managers is not directly linked to a federal declaration. The deployment of these personnel depends on the specific needs and resources available for each disaster situation. A federal declaration may trigger additional resources and assistance, but it does not automatically result in the deployment of supervisors and case managers.

Having multiple levels of management allows for effective coordination, decision-making, and delegation of tasks within the program.

The American Red Cross and Catholic Charities USA are non-governmental organizations that provide humanitarian assistance and support, but they are not responsible for the federal programs mentioned in the question.

This allows for a flexible timeframe that takes into account the varying needs and circumstances of individuals affected by a disaster. The duration of the services provided will depend on the specific needs and progress of each case, ensuring that individuals receive the necessary support for an appropriate amount of time.

The State Governor is the highest-ranking official in the state government and has the authority to request assistance from federal agencies like FEMA.

    DCM supervisors and case managers will be deployed in 2-3 week rotations, which means that they will take turns working for a period of 2-3 weeks before being replaced by another supervisor or case manager. This rotation system allows for a fresh perspective and prevents burnout, ensuring that there is always someone available to handle cases and supervise the team effectively.

      Federal

      State

    • C. 

      Local

    Correct Answer
    A. Federal
    Explanation
    The Disaster Case Management Program is funded at the federal level of government. This means that the funding for this program comes from the national government rather than state or local governments. The federal government typically provides funding for programs that have a broader scope and impact, such as disaster management, which requires a coordinated and centralized approach. By funding the program at the federal level, it ensures that resources are available to support disaster victims across different states and regions.

    Rate this question:

  • 10. 

    ____________ are needs that are exacerbated by the disaster:

    • A. 

      Social service needs

    • B. 

      Long-term needs

    • C. 

      Holistic needs

    • D. 

      Disaster-related needs

    Correct Answer
    D. Disaster-related needs
    Explanation
    Disaster-related needs refer to the specific needs that arise as a result of a disaster. These needs are directly linked to the impact and aftermath of the disaster, such as the need for emergency shelter, medical assistance, food, clean water, and other essential supplies. Unlike social service needs, which may exist even without a disaster, disaster-related needs are intensified and become more urgent during and after a disaster. Long-term needs and holistic needs are broader categories that may encompass disaster-related needs, but they are not as specific or directly linked to the disaster itself.
