Answer to Question 1

Ans: D
The Fukushima disaster in 2011 produced environmental contamination and increased radioactivity. There is no higher rate of cancer in the general Japanese population, higher levels of cesium in the elderly, and no evidence of overpopulation due to the Fukushima disaster.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: B
The Disaster Paradigm (AMA, 2004a, 2005) is a useful model for recognizing and managing a disaster scene. This paradigm establishes the eight priorities following the acronym DISASTER: detect, incident command, scene security and safety, assess hazards, support, triage and treatment, evacuation and transport of victims and casualties, and recovery.
