After a disaster, special care must be taken in which population(s)?

Men and women
Children and the elderly
Teachers and construction workers
No special care is given to any particular group

Explanation

Answer - B - Children and elderly people may need special care after a natural disaster. Children experience the same reactions as adults, but they lack experience, vocabulary, and conceptual ability to deal with the situation. In the elderly, a natural disaster can increase the feeling of loss, can further exacerbate feeling socially isolated, and can increase feelings of depression and inability to effect positive change in their lives.
