Disaster Preparedness

Question 16 • KY-Health Education - Summer 2026

What mistake did Elizabeth make in implementing her family’s disaster plan?

Answer
A
She collected enough nonperishable food items and water for everyone to be safe for two weeks.
B
She installed smoke detectors next to the electrical outlets in everyone’s bedroom.
C
She put together an emergency kit with a can opener, wind-up radio, and blankets.
D
She drew a map showing everyone where to meet.

Explanation

Smoke detectors should be installed on or near the ceiling, not next to electrical outlets. Placing them by outlets in bedrooms is the mistake. The other actions—storing food and water, preparing an emergency kit, and choosing a meeting place—are sensible parts of a disaster plan.
