Which of the following actions should be ensured immediately upon locating a bomb ? 1. Venting 2. Buttressing 3. Baffling 4. Evacuating Select the answer using the code given below :

Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: D

Explanation

Upon locating a suspicious object or bomb, standard security and disaster management protocols (such as those prescribed by the National Security Guard (NSG) and NDMA) recommend four primary blast mitigation actions:

  • Venting: Opening windows and doors to allow the blast pressure wave to escape, thereby reducing the risk of structural collapse.
  • Buttressing: Reinforcing walls or the area around the object with sandbags or heavy materials to strengthen them against the explosion.
  • Baffling: Placing barriers like blast shields, mattresses, or sandbags around the object to deflect or absorb fragments and shockwaves.
  • Evacuating: Moving all personnel to a safe distance (usually at least 300 feet) to prevent casualties.

All four actions are essential components of an immediate response to minimize loss of life and property damage before the bomb disposal squad arrives. Therefore, the correct answer is 1, 2, 3, and 4.
