Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
A common reaction of older persons experiencing disaster may be fear of loss of independence. Young children may respond with regression. The community in general may respond will feel-ings of anger, sorrow, guilt, and perceived blame for the disaster or the outcomes of the disaster. Violence should not be anticipated with any of the populations discussed in the text.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Mitigation is defined as actions or measures that can either prevent the occurrence of a disaster or reduce the severity of the effects. A natural disaster, such as an earthquake or hurricane, causes disruption, destruction, and/or devastation requiring external assistance. Community resilience is defined as the sustained ability of a community to withstand and recover from adversity. A rapid needs assessment is based on the traditional model of community assessment where there is a rapid appraisal of a sector or region's population, social systems, and geophysical features.
