Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
A disturbing trend is the large increase in the use of methamphetamines, steroids, and inhalants by young people. Among young adults aged 18 to 25, the rate of current nonmedical use of prescription-type drugs in 2011 was 5, which was lower than the rate in the years from 2003 to 2010.There was a decrease from 2005 to 2011 in the use of cocaine among young adults, from 2.6 to 1.4. Overall drug use, particularly among adolescents, has declined.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
The local Office of Emergency Management involves representatives from all official and unofficial agencies in developing the community disaster plan; developing scenarios to test the plan through drills; and assessing the scope, intensity, and number of casualties (once an incident has occurred) to initiate the proper response. The mission of the FEMA is to support citizens and first responders to ensure that, as a nation, everyone works together to build, sustain and improve the capacity to prepare for, protect against, respond to, recover from and mitigate all hazards. There is no specific government agency called the State Disaster Office or the National Disaster Relief Agency.
