Answer to Question 2
Correct Answer: 1
The warm zone, or control zone, is adjacent to the hot zone. This is where the decontamination of victims or triage and emergency treatment takes place. The site where a weapon was released or where contamination occurred is called the hot zone. It is considered to be contaminated, and only those persons in the appropriate personal protective equipment may enter this zone. The cold zone is considered the safe zone. There is no green zone when working with decontamination.
