Which of the following is an objective of conducting a mock drill?

  1. Reconstructing collapsed buildings
  2. Rehabilitating disaster victims
  3. Distributing relief funds
  4. Identifying possible errors and risks
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: D. Identifying possible errors and risks

1. The objectives of a mock drill include evaluating response, improving coordination, and identifying possible errors and risks. 2. So identifying possible errors and risks is a listed objective. 3. Rule out rehabilitating victims: that belongs to the transitional phase after a real disaster, not to a preparedness drill. _Source: Balbharati (Maharashtra Board) Class 10 Science & Technology Part 2, Ch 10 "Disaster Management", p.127_

Which item belongs in a standard first aid kit as listed in the chapter?

  1. A mobile phone charger
  2. A predictive hazard map
  3. An antiseptic like Dettol
  4. A fire extinguisher cylinder
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: C. An antiseptic like Dettol

1. The first aid box list includes bandages, gauze, cotton, gloves, soap and an antiseptic such as Dettol or Savlon. 2. So the antiseptic is a correct kit item. 3. Rule out the hazard map: it is a planning tool for pre-disaster management, not a first aid material. _Source: Balbharati (Maharashtra Board) Class 10 Science & Technology Part 2, Ch 10 "Disaster Management", p.127_

Which emergency helpline number is correctly matched to its service?

  1. Police - 101
  2. Fire fighting - 100
  3. Ambulance - 108
  4. Ambulance - 102
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: D. Ambulance - 102

1. The 'Always remember' box lists Police 100, Fire fighting force 101, Disaster Control Unit 108 and Ambulance 102. 2. Matching these, Ambulance is 102, so option D is correct. 3. Rule out 'Police - 101': 101 is the fire fighting force, while police is 100. 4. Rule out 'Ambulance - 108': 108 is the Disaster Control Unit, not the ambulance. _Source: Balbharati (Maharashtra Board) Class 10 Science & Technology Part 2, Ch 10 "Disaster Management", p.128_
