Question

Which factor does not impact the complexity of an incident? A. Cost considerations of responding agencies B. Community and responder safety C. Political sensitivity, external influences, and media relations D. Potential hazardous materials

Answer 1

A: Cost considerations of responding agencies does not impact the complexity of an incident

Step-by-step explanation:

There are many factors that affect incident complexity. Availability of resources is one of them. Political insensitivity (in case any political party behaves irresponsibly) and even media relations (the information provided to people by media), weather and environmental influences increase the complexity of an incident.

Also, potential hazardous materials, specially if there is a terrorist attack will increase the incident’s complexity. Among these factors, cost considerations of the agencies doesn’t affect the complexity.

Answer 2

The cost consideration of the responding agencies doesn’t impact the nature of the incident.

Option- A

Explanation:

On 27th December 2018, Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) released its intention to amend its reply to Michigan. The degree in which EPA does have to include expenses in its application of the regulations was always the object of controversy.

Most federal laws include similar provisions that resolve expense issues. However, in those situations, conflicts arise over the importance of costs in relation to other; it demonstrates how the highest court has historically understood rules for consideration of costs .

Incident complexity is measured on a five-point scale ranging from Type 5 (least complex incident) to Type 1 (most complex incident).

Various analytical tools have been developed to help decision of the key factors associated with the incident complexity. Some of them are

• Impacts on life, property and economy

• Availability of resources

• Environmental factors

• Potentially dangerous materials

• Jurisdictional boundaries

• Potential crime scene (comprising terrorism)

• External influences
• Safety determinations, etc.
