Answer 1

Answer:

A. 1, 2

Contrary to the incorrect statements, DMEx are designed to enhance, not replace, real-world training and to significantly improve coordination. They bring together diverse groups—from emergency services and local government to non-governmental organizations and community volunteers—to practice working as a cohesive unit. This integrated approach is critical because effective disaster response relies heavily on seamless communication and synchronized actions among all involved parties, ensuring a unified and rapid response.
