What should an Emergency Action Plan (EAP) include?

• A. Roles and communication, rescue procedures, evacuation routes, access to medical care, assembly points, and incident reporting protocols.
• B. A description of who is in charge of the loudspeakers during emergencies.
• C. Marketing and outreach plans.
• D. Budgeting for course upgrades

Answer: (B)

An Emergency Action Plan coordinates a clear, organized response to emergencies on site. It should clearly define who leads and who communicates with staff and participants, outline rescue procedures for safely removing someone in distress, and specify evacuation routes to move people to safety. It also describes how to access medical care quickly, designates assembly points to account for everyone, and sets in place incident reporting protocols to document what happened and learn from it. These elements ensure a quick, coordinated, and accountable response. Details like who runs the loudspeakers during emergencies, marketing plans, or budgets for course upgrades belong outside the scope of an EAP.
