Answer 1

Answer:

D. CERTs never operate as a single team; volunteers may be sent individually to assist others.

Explanation:

CERT is a Community Emergency Response Team that educates volunteers about precaution and preparedness to take during hazards or disaster and train them in basic disaster response skills that includes light search, fire safety, medical operations, and rescue.

CERTs never operate as a single team and always sent volunteers individually to assist others, so that more people can learn about disaster management and if in case CERT team member is not available at that time of hazard, local people or people assisting them should know how to overcome the hazard situation.

Hence, the correct option is "D".
