    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation

    • All Answers Are Correct

    Correct Answer
    A. All Answers Are Correct
    Explanation
    When searching for victims, CERT members should stop frequently to listen for tapping, movement, and voices. All of these answers are correct because they can indicate the presence of a victim who may be in need of assistance. Tapping could be a signal for help, movement could suggest someone is trapped or in distress, and voices could indicate the location of individuals who need rescue. By actively listening for these cues, CERT members can increase their chances of locating and helping victims in emergency situations.

    Self Removal and Lifts are both types of Victim Removal. Self Removal refers to a situation where the victim is able to remove themselves from the dangerous situation without assistance. Lifts, on the other hand, involve physically lifting the victim to a safe location. Push and Holds are not types of Victim Removal.

Triangulation is commonly used in various fields such as social sciences, research, and investigations to ensure a comprehensive and well-rounded analysis.

    Rate this question:

  • 8. 

    Which of the following is NOT a way of creating a safe rescue environment?

    • Wait for the Cavalry

    • Maintain Rescuer Safety

    • Triage in Lightly or Moderately Damaged Buildings

    • Evacuate Victims as Quickly as Possible

    Correct Answer
    A. Wait for the Cavalry
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "Wait for the Cavalry." This option suggests waiting for external help or assistance to arrive before taking any action in a rescue situation. However, in creating a safe rescue environment, it is important to prioritize certain actions such as maintaining rescuer safety, triaging in lightly or moderately damaged buildings, and evacuating victims as quickly as possible. Waiting for external help may delay the rescue process and put the lives of victims and rescuers at risk.

    Rate this question:

  • 9. 

    Which of the following is NOT a separate operation of Search and Rescue?

    • Search

    • Sizeup

    • Rescue

    • Saving

    Correct Answer
    A. Saving
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "Saving" because it is not a separate operation of Search and Rescue. Search involves looking for a missing person or object, Sizeup involves assessing the situation and determining the resources needed, and Rescue involves physically extracting the person or object from a dangerous situation. However, "Saving" is not a distinct operation in the search and rescue process.

    The Decision to Attempt Rescue is based upon:

    • The Amount of Victims

    • The Type of Disaster

    • The Risks Involved for the Rescuer

    • How Brave the Rescuer Feels

    Correct Answer
    A. The Risks Involved for the Rescuer
    Explanation
    The decision to attempt rescue is based on the risks involved for the rescuer. This means that the rescuer will consider the potential dangers and hazards they may face while attempting the rescue. Factors such as the severity of the disaster, the presence of any immediate threats, and the likelihood of success will be taken into account. The rescuer will prioritize their own safety and well-being while assessing the risks involved in order to make an informed decision about whether or not to proceed with the rescue.

    • Partial or Total Collapse

    • Many Visible Cracks or Breaks in the Wall

    • Visible Signs of Damage

    • Major Damage to Interior Contents

    Correct Answer
    A. Partial or Total Collapse
    Explanation
    Partial or Total Collapse is not a description of Moderate Damage because it implies a severe level of destruction where a structure has either partially or completely collapsed. Moderate Damage refers to a level of damage that is less severe, and typically includes visible cracks or breaks in the wall, visible signs of damage, and major damage to interior contents.

    Correct Answer
    A. Leveraging and Cribbing
    Explanation
    Leveraging and cribbing are two methods used to move debris. Leveraging involves using a lever or pry bar to lift or move heavy objects. Cribbing is the process of creating a temporary support structure using wooden blocks or other materials to stabilize an object or lift it to a desired height. These methods are commonly used in situations where heavy debris needs to be moved safely and efficiently.

    Rate this question:

  • 13. 

    Tilting is a description of Moderate Damage to a structure. 

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    Tilting is not a description of Moderate Damage to a structure. Tilting refers to the leaning or slanting of a structure, which may indicate structural instability or foundation issues. Moderate Damage, on the other hand, refers to the extent of harm or deterioration to a structure, which can include cracks, fractures, or partial collapse. Therefore, the statement is false.
