F-89 Emergency Action Plan (EAPD) / Fire Safety Director (FSD) Practice Exam

If a property manager seeks help for security concerns during an emergency, what should the EAPD communicate?

1. It is outside their responsibilities

2. They will handle security concerns

3. They will consult the management

4. They will contact law enforcement

The correct answer is: It is outside their responsibilities

The correct response emphasizes the specific scope of responsibilities assigned to the Emergency Action Plan Director (EAPD). When a property manager seeks assistance for security concerns during an emergency, it is important for the EAPD to communicate that handling security matters falls outside their defined role and duties. This clarification ensures that expectations are managed appropriately and reinforces the importance of designated roles within an emergency response framework. Each party in an emergency plan has specific responsibilities, and the EAPD must recognize the boundaries of their authority to maintain clarity and effective communication. By stating that it is outside their responsibilities, the EAPD can redirect the property manager's request to the appropriate personnel or authorities who have the authority and training to effectively address security concerns. This approach helps in ensuring that emergency situations are managed efficiently and according to established protocols.
