Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
The National Response Framework is a unified, all-discipline, all-hazards approach to domestic incident management. It is built upon scalable, flexible, and adaptable coordinating structures to align key roles and responsibilities linking all levels of government and organizations. The Home-land Security Act of 2002 created a new branch of government that deals with bioterrorism, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. The NIMS did not impact the Red Cross or extend presidential power to act upon bioterrorism.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Communicating effectively with others in a disaster or public health emergency is one of the competencies demonstrated in disaster medicine and public health. Involvement in the chain of command, using a set of preplanned activities for every disaster, and implementing a community assessment are not part of these competencies.
