    • Getting a kit

    • Making a plan

    • All of the above

    • Being informed

    • Getting involved

    Correct Answer
    A. All of the above
    Explanation
    Preparing for emergencies involves getting a kit, making a plan, being informed, and getting involved. Getting a kit means gathering essential supplies like food, water, and first aid items. Making a plan involves creating a strategy for how to respond and communicate during an emergency. Being informed means staying updated on potential risks and knowing how to access information during an emergency. Getting involved refers to actively participating in community preparedness efforts. Therefore, all of the above options are necessary for effective emergency preparation.

    Rate this question:

  • 3. 

    Consider having two kits.  In one, put everything you will need to stay where you are and make it on your own. The other should be a lightweight smaller version you can take with you if you have to get away.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The statement suggests that it is important to have two kits prepared in case of an emergency. One kit should contain all the necessary items to survive in one place, while the other should be a smaller and portable version that can be taken if one needs to evacuate. This ensures that one is prepared for both staying in place and for potential situations where they need to leave quickly.

    Rate this question:

  • 4. 

    Consider a plan where each family member calls, or e-mails, the same friend or relative in the event of an emergency.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    In this plan, each family member is assigned the same friend or relative to contact in case of an emergency. This can be an effective strategy as it ensures that everyone knows who to reach out to and avoids confusion or delay in getting help. It also allows for better coordination and communication among family members during emergencies. Therefore, the given statement is true.

    • Flash Light

    • Battery–powered radio

    Correct Answer
    A. All of the above
    Explanation
    The question asks for other recommended supplies included in a basic kit. The options given are flash light, manual can-opener, medication, and battery-powered radio. The correct answer is "All of the above" because all of these supplies are commonly recommended to be included in a basic kit for emergency situations.

    Kits should include:

    • 1 gallon of water per person per day,

    • 3 days supply of non-perishable foods,

    • Warm clothes,

    • A sleeping bag for each member of family

    • All of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. All of the above
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "All of the above." This is because the question asks for what should be included in a kit, and all of the listed items (1 gallon of water per person per day, 3 days supply of non-perishable foods, warm clothes, and a sleeping bag for each member of the family) are necessary items to include in a kit.

    Rate this question:

  • 7. 

    A community working together during an emergency is a bad idea. It creates mass confusions.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    Working together as a community during an emergency is actually a good idea. It allows for better coordination, pooling of resources, and sharing of information. By working together, individuals can support and assist each other, making the response more effective and efficient. While there may be some potential for confusion, proper communication and organization can help mitigate this issue. Therefore, the statement that working together as a community during an emergency is a bad idea is false.

    Rate this question:

  • 8. 

    Be prepared to improvise and use what you have on hand to make it on your own for:

    • At least 10 days

    • At least 1 Month

    • At least 3 days

    • At least 3 Months

    Correct Answer
    A. At least 3 days
    Explanation
    The answer "At least 3 days" suggests that the person should be prepared to improvise and use the resources they have on hand to survive for a minimum of 3 days. This implies that they should have enough food, water, and other essential supplies to last them for at least 3 days in case of an emergency or unforeseen circumstances. It is important to be prepared for such situations to ensure one's safety and well-being.

    It is NOT smart to have mouth and nose protection such as two to three layers of cotton t-shirt, handkerchief, towel or filter masks, as barrier from contaminants.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    Having mouth and nose protection such as two to three layers of cotton t-shirt, handkerchief, towel, or filter masks can act as a barrier against contaminants. Therefore, the statement that it is NOT smart to have such protection is false.

    Rate this question:

  • 10. 

    Making a plan includes all  except

    • Joining Citizen Corps

    • Create a Plan to Shelter-In-Place

    • Create a Plan to Get Away

    • Develop a family Communications Plan

    • Know Emergency Plans at School & Work

    Correct Answer
    A. Joining Citizen Corps
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "Joining Citizen Corps." This is because the other options listed are all actions that can be taken as part of making a plan for emergencies. Joining Citizen Corps, on the other hand, is not directly related to creating a personal emergency plan. Citizen Corps is a community-based program in the United States that encourages individuals to get involved in emergency preparedness and response efforts, but it is not a necessary step in creating a personal emergency plan.
