The management team is in the process of identification of hazards associated with the ice storm that is expected to disable electrical service to the city
To identify areas most vulnerable to damage and plan for an effective response, which data or methods of data collection may be used? (Select all that apply.)
A) Geographic information
B) Satellite imagery
C) Census data
D) Historical data on previous events
E) Planning board declarations
Ans: A, B, D
Feedback:
The identification of all existing and potentially dangerous situations before disasters occur is the first step in planning for an effective response. Different circumstances result in different types of injuries or illness, damage, and disruption of communication and transportation. Gathering historical data about previous disasters is helpful. Aerial photography, satellite imagery, wireless remote sensing devices, and geographic information systems are tools commonly used in hazard identification. Census data would not likely help identify areas vulnerable to damage. Planning board declarations are not data or a method of data collection.
