Answer 2

Answer:

D. Planning results in unique plans for every type of threat or hazard.

Explanation:

Emergency Management Plans are those measures developed ahead of time to handle emergencies. These plans are developed to handle activities that are prone to risks. Examples include natural disasters and cybercrimes. When making these plans, care should be taken to ensure that they embrace a 'whole-of-community' approach. This entails a careful analysis of the different categories of people that can be affected by these disasters as well as the specific locations where they can occur in the community. The methods developed should also be flexible enough to handle both local crises as well as very severe crisis.

It is important to note that unique plans cannot be developed for every type of hazard, rather common capabilities should be identified which can be applied to all hazards.
