Question

With the addition of the Staging Area, the Operations Section Chief has the following subordinate leaders reporting directly to him: Staging Area Manager, Division A Supervisor, Division B Supervisor, Division C Supervisor, Flood Control Group Supervisor, and Nursing Home Task Force Leader. After the river crests, the Operations Section will need to perform additional functions such as control the perimeter, perform search and rescue operations, and restore utilities. What should the Operations Section Chief do?

1) Delegate tasks to the subordinate leaders
2) Take charge of the Staging Area
3) Coordinate with other sections
4) Perform search and rescue operations

Answer 1

The Operations Section Chief should delegate tasks, coordinate with other sections, and take charge of the Staging Area.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Operations Section Chief should delegate tasks to the subordinate leaders, coordinate with other sections, and take charge of the Staging Area. Delegating tasks to the subordinate leaders will ensure that each function is assigned to the appropriate leader who can oversee its execution. Coordinating with other sections is important to ensure a coordinated response and efficient use of resources. Taking charge of the Staging Area will allow the Operations Section Chief to oversee and coordinate the activities in that area.
