Answer to Question 1

A
During the impact stage, firm direction is needed, and executing essential helpful jobs will help restore order. Asking for volunteers when there is a loss of order and control would be counter-productive and would lack the direction needed by those affected. Food will need to be rationed in the event there is no rescue for an extended period of time. The rationing should be performed with direction and should not allow the people to take whatever they wish.

Answer to Question 2

D
Food frozen in a full freezer will keep the food safe for 48 hours. A partially filled freezer will keep food safe for 24 hours.
