    After bomb threat is made, if a suspicious object is found during search it should be:

    • Handled with great care

    • Disarmed immediately

    • Reported immediately to designated authorities

    • Placed in a bucket of water

    Correct Answer
    A. Reported immediately to designated authorities
    Explanation
    When a bomb threat is made and a suspicious object is found during a search, it is important to report it immediately to designated authorities. This is because the authorities are trained to handle such situations and have the necessary expertise and resources to deal with the potential threat. Handling the object with great care may be necessary, but it should be done by the designated authorities who can assess the situation and take appropriate actions. Disarming the object immediately can be dangerous and should only be done by professionals. Placing it in a bucket of water is not a recommended course of action as it may not effectively neutralize the threat.

    The removal of any suspected bomb should be done by:

    • Proprietary guard force

    • Office employees

    • Professional bomb-disposal personnel

    • The patrol office of the city police department

    Correct Answer
    A. Professional bomb-disposal personnel
    Explanation
    The removal of a suspected bomb should be done by professional bomb-disposal personnel because they have the necessary training, expertise, and equipment to safely handle and dispose of explosive devices. Proprietary guard forces and office employees may not have the required knowledge or skills to handle such a dangerous situation. The patrol office of the city police department may have some training, but bomb disposal is a specialized field that requires specific expertise. Therefore, professional bomb-disposal personnel are the most suitable and qualified individuals to handle the removal of a suspected bomb.

    A. Do not cooperate with captors
    Explanation
    The suggested behavior of a kidnapping victim includes staying calm, not trying to escape unless there is a good chance of success, and trying to remember events. However, cooperating with captors is not suggested behavior as it can potentially put the victim at further risk and make it harder for authorities to intervene and resolve the situation safely.

    Earthquakes constitute a definite concern to the emergency management responsibilities of security managers in certain areas of our country. Accordingly is it incumbent upon our security professionals to have a clear understanding of the basic facts concerning earthquakes. Which of the following is an incorrect statement?

    • Earthquakes are unpredictable and strike without warning

    • Earthquakes are last from a few seconds to as much as 5 minutes

    • The actual movement of the ground in an earthquake is usually the direct cause of injury or death

    • Quakes may also trigger landslides and generate tidal waves

    Correct Answer
    A. The actual movement of the ground in an earthquake is usually the direct cause of injury or death
    Explanation
    The given correct answer is "The actual movement of the ground in an earthquake is usually the direct cause of injury or death." This statement is incorrect because while the movement of the ground in an earthquake can cause injury or death, it is not usually the direct cause. Injuries and deaths in earthquakes are often caused by collapsing buildings, falling objects, and other secondary effects rather than the ground movement itself.

    In devising plans to protect vital records during an emergency, a prime decision to make would be the identification of vital records. Whether such records are vital depends, to a large extent, upon the type of business conducted. However, as a general rule, all of the following would be considered vital to any corporate organization except:

    • The incorporation certification

    • Personal identification fingerprints of employees

    • The by-laws of the corporation

    • The stock record books

    Correct Answer
    A. Personal identification fingerprints of employees
    Explanation
    Personal identification fingerprints of employees would not be considered vital to any corporate organization. While it is important to have records of employees' personal identification, such as their names and identification numbers, fingerprints are not typically necessary for day-to-day operations or emergency planning. The other options listed, such as the incorporation certification, by-laws of the corporation, and stock record books, are crucial documents that are necessary for the functioning and legal compliance of a corporate organization.

    In establishing a disaster plan, provision should be incorporated which would permit you to be prepared for a variety of emergency situations. Which of the following probably would not have a key role in such plans?

    • Employee welfare service

    • Rescue teams

    • The recreational coordinator

    • Radiological Defense Service

    Correct Answer
    A. The recreational coordinator
    Explanation
    The recreational coordinator would probably not have a key role in disaster plans. While employee welfare services, rescue teams, and radiological defense services are all important in emergency situations, the role of a recreational coordinator is more focused on organizing recreational activities and events for employees or residents. While their role may be important for morale and well-being in normal circumstances, it is unlikely that they would have a significant role in disaster preparedness and response.

    In the event the media makes contact as a result of crisis situation, they should:

    • Be given “no comment”

    • Be put in touch with person designated in the emergency plan for orderly release of information

    • Be put in contact with the president of the company

    • Be put in contact with the plant manager

    Correct Answer
    A. Be put in touch with person designated in the emergency plan for orderly release of information
    Explanation
    During a crisis situation, it is important to have a designated person who is responsible for handling the release of information to the media. This person is specifically trained to communicate effectively and appropriately during a crisis, ensuring that accurate and timely information is provided. By putting the media in touch with this designated person, the company can ensure that the information released is controlled and consistent, minimizing the risk of misinformation or confusion. This approach allows the company to maintain control over the narrative and protect its reputation during a crisis.

    Which of the following does not fit into good emergency planning:

    • An individual should be appointed as coordinator

    • Plan should be reduced in writing

    • Plan should be simple

    • A new organization should be developed to handle emergency situations

    Correct Answer
    A. A new organization should be developed to handle emergency situations
    Explanation
    Developing a new organization to handle emergency situations does not fit into good emergency planning because it would be inefficient and time-consuming. It is more effective to have a designated coordinator who can oversee and coordinate the various aspects of the emergency plan. This ensures a streamlined and efficient response to emergencies. Additionally, developing a new organization would require significant resources and may not be feasible in all situations.

    Rate this question:

    Which of the following procedures should not be advocated as a part of emergency planning:

    • Emergency plan should be in writing

    • Emergency planning should be revised as needed

    • Distribution should be limited to senior management

    • Plan should be tested through practice

    Correct Answer
    A. Distribution should be limited to senior management
    Explanation
    The procedure of limiting the distribution of the emergency plan to senior management should not be advocated as a part of emergency planning. In an emergency situation, it is crucial for all employees and relevant stakeholders to have access to the emergency plan in order to effectively respond and mitigate the situation. Limiting the distribution to senior management only may result in a lack of awareness and preparedness among other employees, hindering the overall effectiveness of the emergency plan.

    In connection with corporate kidnapping by terrorists, the decision as to whether ransom is to be paid should be made by:

    • Local police

    • Spouse or blood relative of victim

    • City Government

    • Highest corporate level

    Correct Answer
    A. Highest corporate level
    Explanation
    The decision as to whether ransom is to be paid in connection with corporate kidnapping by terrorists should be made by the highest corporate level. This is because the highest corporate level is responsible for the overall management and strategic decisions of the corporation. They have the authority and expertise to assess the potential risks, evaluate the financial implications, and make a decision that aligns with the best interests of the corporation and its stakeholders. Local police, the spouse or blood relative of the victim, and the city government may have important roles to play in the situation, but the ultimate decision-making authority lies with the highest corporate level.

    Which of the following is not recommended action with regard to survival of earthquake?

    • If outside, immediately go inside

    • Keep calm

    • Douse all fires

    • Keep away from utility wires

    Correct Answer

    • A lockout

    • Shutout

    • Lock in

    • Permissive picketing

    Correct Answer
    A. A lockout
    Explanation
    A lockout refers to the action taken by the management during a strike where they prevent members of the bargaining unit from entering the premises. This is a strategic move by the management to exert pressure on the striking workers and gain an advantage in negotiations. By locking out the workers, the management aims to disrupt their ability to work and earn wages, thereby increasing their incentive to reach a favorable agreement.

    Usually the most difficult part of an Executive Protection Plan is:

    • To secure trained personnel

    • To initiate liaison with Federal Agencies

    • To initiate liaison with local authorities

    • To convince the executive being protected on the need for such protection

    Correct Answer
    A. To convince the executive being protected on the need for such protection
    Explanation
    The most difficult part of an Executive Protection Plan is usually to convince the executive being protected on the need for such protection. This is because executives may not always perceive themselves as being at risk or may underestimate the potential threats they face. It requires effective communication and persuasion skills to convey the importance of executive protection and the potential consequences of not having proper security measures in place. Without the executive's understanding and cooperation, it can be challenging to implement an effective protection plan.

    In reviewing the emergency plans of the ZYX Corporation, the legal counsel of the firm notes that there is a definite possibility that a quorum of the legal board of directors cannot readily assembled which will not allow action in accordance with law. Which of the following methods generally would not be acceptable to remedy this legal problem?

    • Reduce the quorum number if allowed by state law

    • Summary filling of board vacancies if allowed by state law

    • Establishment of an emergency management committee, if allowed by state law

    • Utilizing chain of command, execute proper power of attorney papers for the top 3 officials so the most senior could execute legal affairs if board not functioning

    Correct Answer
    A. Utilizing chain of command, execute proper power of attorney papers for the top 3 officials so the most senior could execute legal affairs if board not functioning
    Explanation
    The method of utilizing the chain of command and executing power of attorney papers for the top 3 officials is generally not acceptable to remedy the legal problem. This is because power of attorney grants authority to an individual to act on behalf of another person, which may not be appropriate for the legal board of directors. The legal board should ideally consist of the designated individuals who have the legal authority to make decisions and take action in accordance with the law.

    Perhaps one of the most difficult tasks in planning for disasters and emergencies is that actual formulation of a basic disaster plan. Which of the following is an incorrect procedure in developing such a plan?

    • The basic plan should provide for coordination of government and company actions before and during a disaster.

    • A glossary of terms used should be included

    • There should be a listing of types of emergencies limited to those experienced by the company in the past

    • The plan should utilize appendices as needed such as maps , call ups lists and mutual aid agreements

    Correct Answer
    A. There should be a listing of types of emergencies limited to those experienced by the company in the past
    Explanation
    The basic plan should not be limited to only the types of emergencies experienced by the company in the past. This is because disasters and emergencies can come in various forms and it is important to be prepared for any potential situation. By limiting the types of emergencies to only those experienced in the past, the plan may not adequately address new or unforeseen emergencies that may arise in the future.

    • If employees are outside, proceed to the nearest building and head for the basement promptly

    • If employees are indoors at the time of shaking , they should stay there

    • If inside, take cover under sturdy furniture

    • If inside, stay center of the building

    Correct Answer
    A. If employees are outside, proceed to the nearest building and head for the basement promptly
    Explanation
    This warning should not be included in the plan because it is not safe for employees to proceed to the nearest building and head for the basement during an earthquake. It is recommended to stay outside and find an open area away from buildings, trees, and power lines. Seeking shelter in a basement during an earthquake can be dangerous as there is a risk of building collapse or debris falling. Therefore, this action should not be included in the disaster plan.

    A. The vital records protection program is an administrative device for preserving existing records.
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "The vital records protection program is an administrative device for preserving existing records." This statement is incorrect because a vital records program is not solely focused on preserving existing records, but rather on identifying and protecting records that are essential for the continued functioning of an organization. The program involves systematically determining what information is vital, regardless of whether it is already existing or not. It also considers the value of records beyond their vital information, as they may have other importance to the company. Rapid decision making is also not a requirement for determining individual vital records.
