After a disaster, special care must be taken in which population(s)?
  1. Men and women
  2. Children and the elderly
  3. Teachers and construction workers
  4. 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.
