Question

Which of the following is NOT listed as a crucial role of Discussion-Based DMEx?

• A. Generating awareness
• B. Funding relief efforts
• C. Training Disaster Management officials
• D. Evaluating existing Disaster Management Plans and Policies

Answer 1

Answer:

B. Funding relief efforts

• Discussion-Based DMEx (Disaster Management Exercises) are primarily focused on planning, strategy, communication, and decision-making in a simulated environment. They are about testing the intellectual and procedural aspects of preparedness. Funding relief efforts is an operational and financial aspect of actual disaster response and recovery, which happens after a disaster strikes. While a DMEx might discuss financial resource allocation, its crucial role isn't to generate or directly manage those funds.
