Answer to Question 1

B
TJC requires that all accredited facilities have a written emergency preparedness plan with des-ignated roles and responsibilities. The ARC is a voluntary organization that traditionally provides the basic essentials of shelter, food, and first aid during a natural disaster. FEMA is an or-ganization under the federal government. It is activated by the Department of Homeland Securi-ty. It acts when states require assistance in times of disaster. The Office of Civil Defense (OCD) is no longer in existence. It was a federal agency that acted in cases of large-scale disasters. It was replaced by FEMA.

Answer to Question 2

B
An emergency situation, such as a plane crash at a local airport, can be handled by community emergency departments. Each community has in place an emergency plan as to dispersal of people needing to be treated, law enforcement participation, and transportation. Communities are always affected when a large-scale emergency situation occurs.
