b) The 9/11 terrorist attacks
c) The Watts riots
d) The California wildfires

Answer 1

FIRESCOPE was developed following devastating wildfires in California, primarily to enhance the coordination and response to large-scale incidents.

Step-by-step explanation:

FIRESCOPE was created in the wake of the California wildfires. This interagency system for managing complex incidents such as wildfires was developed after a series of catastrophic fires in California during the late 1960s and early 1970s.

FIRESCOPE (Firefighting Resources of California Organized for Potential Emergencies) has become a cornerstone in the organization of responses to large-scale incidents and is a precursor to the National Incident Management System (NIMS).
