Populations Exam 6 Practice

Before a disaster, which safety action should be taken to keep exits clear?

Remove boxes blocking exits Keep boxes blocking exits Move boxes into doorways Place boxes in front of exits

Correct Answer:

Remove boxes blocking exits

Explanation:

The main idea is that in an emergency, you need a clear path to exit. Keeping exits unobstructed lets people evacuate quickly and safely and prevents trips or bottlenecks as they move toward safety. Removing boxes or other objects that block exit routes is the best action because it immediately opens the way for everyone to get out and for responders to reach the area if needed. Leaving things in doorways or in front of exits creates chokepoints and can trap people, dramatically increasing risk. So the correct approach is to remove anything blocking exits to keep those routes open.
