Which statement best describes ongoing threat scanning after an incident involving FAM?

• A. Move to the door for evacuation
• B. Hide behind a crew member
• C. Continue scanning for additional threats until given directions from FAM Team
• D. Disarm any suspected devices

Answer: (C)

After an incident, the priority is to maintain situational awareness and follow the command structure. Ongoing threat scanning means methodically continuing to search for additional threats or hazards in and around the area, even after the initial danger seems handled. It should continue until the FAM Team, who are trained to assess risk and coordinate actions, directs you that it’s safe to stop or proceed with the next steps. This approach reduces the chance of a secondary device or hidden threat going undetected and keeps communications and control in the hands of the trained team. The other actions don’t reflect continuously validating safety or waiting for authoritative direction to clear the area.
