• B. Counsel those who have suffered trauma and bereavement
• C. Control rumors, provide accurate information
• D. Provide security; prevent looting, protect person and property

Answer 1

The correct option is B Counsel those who have suffered trauma and bereavement

Disaster management is very important to survive in case of natural or man-made disaster. Disaster management activities are aimed to minimize loss of life and damage in the event of disaster. Disaster management forces can help by removing people and property from a threatened location and by facilitating timely and effective rescue, relief and rehabilitation at the place of disaster thereby reducing loss of property, protecting people, but it does not provide further counselling to the people who have suffered trauma and bereavement.
