If population is growing rapidly in a risk area, what should be done in disaster management?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: The capacity of evacuation, relief centres, and warning systems should be increased

Direct answer: A is correct. A risk area is a place exposed to hazards, and rapid population growth may increase the number of people who could be affected. Good disaster management begins by identifying the hazard and mapping the population, settlements, roads, and safe places. Authorities should then check whether evacuation routes, warning systems, shelters, relief supplies, medical support, and trained personnel are sufficient for the larger population. Public awareness and regular preparedness drills can also help people respond quickly. B is wrong because removing risk maps hides information instead of reducing danger. C is wrong because ignoring population size leads to under-prepared plans. D is wrong because closing services can increase vulnerability, especially during an emergency. The exact measures depend on the local hazard, but the principle is to match preparedness capacity with the people at risk. Memory cue: more people at risk means stronger warning, evacuation, and relief capacity.
