At a hazmat incident, which task falls under Logistics?

• A. Providing information to the media
• B. Coordinating interaction with law enforcement
• C. Monitoring the incident and safety procedures
• D. Securing facilities, services, and equipment

Answer: (D)

Logistics covers the resources and support needed to run the response, and securing facilities, services, and equipment is exactly that kind of work. It involves establishing and protecting the physical spaces and the tools and services the team relies on—such as a base or staging area, access to facilities, utilities like power and water, and the equipment and supplies required for response, decontamination, and field operations. Keeping these elements secure and ready ensures responders can work safely and effectively. By contrast, information to the media is a Public Information task, coordinating with law enforcement falls under liaison/command staff functions, and monitoring the incident and safety procedures is primarily handled by Safety and Operations.
