1. Action-Based Disaster Management Exercises (DMEX) are mock drills and exercises where participants physically practice real-time responses to simulated disasters.
2. The primary purpose of these exercises is to confirm the effectiveness of Disaster Management (DM) Plans, Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), and general response capabilities.
3. These exercises are primarily discussion-based activities with minimal physical involvement.

• A. രണ്ടും മൂന്നും
• B. ഒന്നും രണ്ടും
• C. ഒന്ന്
• D. ഒന്ന് മാത്രം

Answer 1

Answer:

B. ഒന്നും രണ്ടും

Action-Based Disaster Management Exercises are practical, hands-on activities designed to simulate real-life disaster scenarios. Their core function is to allow participants to physically practice responses, thereby testing and validating the efficacy of existing DM plans, SOPs, and the overall readiness of response teams. Unlike purely theoretical discussions, these exercises provide invaluable experience in real-time decision-making and coordination under simulated stress.
