In the casualty response sequence, what step follows isolating and controlling hazards?

• A. Detect and report
• B. Muster and assemble
• C. Assess and repair
• D. Document for review

Answer: (C)

Isolating and controlling hazards creates a safe space to evaluate what’s happened. The next step is to assess and repair: you systematically determine the extent of damage, identify what needs fixing or temporary containment, and start corrective actions to restore safety and operational capability. This assessment guides what repairs are feasible now, what can be stabilized, and what requires longer-term fixes, moving the response toward stabilization and recovery. The other actions fit different moments—detecting and reporting happens as dangers are first identified, muster and assemble focuses on gathering people, and documenting for review comes after actions are taken to capture what occurred.
