Answer to Question 1

Answer: 1
Explanation: 1. Health promotion activities include engaging the whole community in policy making and planning, linking public and private performance and interests to resilience goals, improving public and private infrastructure and essential services, and promoting a culture of resilience. The actual emergency response would be injury and illness prevention. Advocacy is not a term used to describe a type of prevention.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: 1
Explanation: 1. The general intent of disaster preparedness is to limit the morbidity and mortality that results from a disaster. Decreasing the cost, preparing the community, and increasing public awareness are not the best descriptions of the general intent of disaster preparedness.
