Question

Two groups of students made plans to help their community during a hurricane. The first group suggested training the community about safe evacuation routes and nearby shelters. The second group suggested stocking food items in every house of the community. Why is training about safe evacuation routes a better method to help a community during a hurricane than stocking food items?

Select one:
a. It is easier to find evacuation routes than buy food items.
b. Evacuation routes are more environmentally friendly than food items.
c. It is less expensive to find evacuation routes than to buy food items.
d. Evacuation routes provide immediate safety from hurricanes unlike food items.

Answer 1

The correct option is D.
During hurricane, the most important thing is to get people out to safety in order to save their lives. Training the community about safety evacuation route is by far the better idea because it provide immediate safety from the natural hazard. The second idea is not a good one at all, because if food are stocked in every house in the community, the food will be destroyed alongside other things during the hurricane.
