2023 Q69 — Emergency Plan / Primary Communicator / Notification Timing

⚠️ DRAFT
Q69 — Emergency Plan / Primary Communicator / Notification Timing T3 G2.4.29 (3.1)
Given:
- You are the Primary Communicator

Then:
- A station event has just been classified as a Site Area Emergency

Which of the following describes the time requirement for State and Local notifications?
A. 30 minutes from the initiation of the event.
B. 15 minutes from the completion of the initial contact message form.
C. 15 minutes from the time the communicator acknowledges the briefing from the Shift Manager.
D. 15 minutes from the classification of the event.
▶ Show Answer & Explanation
✓ D. Correct. The 15 minute notification time to the States and Local agencies starts when the Shift Manager classifies or declares the emergency classification for the event.
✗ A. Plausible because the operator may believe that the notification time includes the 15 minutes to classify and 15 minutes for the notification to the States. Incorrect in that the classification time can be less than 15 minutes, therefore 30 minutes for notifications is not always correct.
✗ B. Plausible because the operator as the primary communicator usually waits until the ICMF is completed by the Shift Manager and is read to the communicator before notifying the States. Incorrect in that the notification time of 15 minutes starts when the Shift Manager declares the emergency classification.
✗ C. Plausible because the operator as the primary communicator usually waits until the ICMF is completed by the Shift Manager and is read to the communicator before notifying the States. Incorrect in that the notification time of 15 minutes starts when the Shift Manager declares the emergency classification.
