During which phase of a disaster can the maximum number of lives be saved through quick action?
ARecovery phase
BReconstruction phase
CEmergency phase
DPre-disaster phase
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. Emergency phase
1. The emergency phase covers search and rescue, medical aid, first aid and removing people from the affected area.
2. The text states that maximum lives can be saved by quick actions during this phase only.
3. So the emergency phase is correct.
4. Rule out reconstruction: it begins much later, rebuilding buildings and roads, when lives are no longer at immediate risk.
