Question

Which of the following is NOT part of the comprehensive scope of the EMT's responsibilities?

• A. Scenario and Narrative Development.
• B. Oversight of Conduct.
• C. Post-disaster recovery operations.
• D. Stakeholder Coordination.

Answer 1

Answer:

C. Post-disaster recovery operations.

The EMT is responsible for planning, executing, and evaluating the Disaster Management Exercise (DMEx) itself. Their duties are focused on the simulated event, from its initial concept note to the final after-action report.

Post-disaster recovery is a separate, real-world phase that happens after an actual disaster. It involves long-term activities like rebuilding infrastructure, restoring essential services, and providing long-term psychological support. The EMT's role concludes with the formal wrap-up of the exercise, which is designed to test and improve response capabilities, not to manage actual recovery efforts.
