SSC Stenographer - 15 Sep 2026 - Shift 1 • Reasoning • Q62

You're the head of a disaster management team. A flood is expected in 3 hours. What's your decision?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

In an emergency situation where a disaster (flood) is imminent within a very short span of time (3 hours), the highest priority of a disaster management head is to minimize loss of life.
• Start immediate evacuation is the most proactive and responsible action to safely relocate people before the flood hits.
• Waiting for higher orders or blocking news causes critical delays and misinformation, while panicking worsens the crisis.
Therefore, the correct course of action is Start immediate evacuation.
