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

Who is responsible for training the DEAPD according to the protocols?

1. AHJ

2. EAPD

3. FDNY

4. NYPD

The correct answer is: EAPD

The responsibility for training the Designated Emergency Action Plan Director (DEAPD) falls to the Emergency Action Plan Director (EAPD) as part of their role in ensuring that emergency procedures are well understood and effectively implemented within their organization. The EAPD is tasked with overseeing the development and execution of the emergency action plan, which includes training personnel on emergency response protocols, evacuation procedures, and safety measures. This training is vital for ensuring that the DEAPD is well-prepared to handle emergencies, assist in evacuation processes, and communicate effectively during a crisis. The training conducted by the EAPD typically encompasses familiarization with the specific emergency action plan, awareness of potential hazards, and roles and responsibilities during an emergency situation. Other entities, such as the Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ), FDNY, or NYPD, may provide guidance, regulations, or support, but the primary responsibility for training the DEAPD lies with the EAPD.
