Which term describes a geographic map outlining resources available if the area is affected by disaster?

• A. Risk map
• B. Scope
• C. Intensity
• D. Resource map

Answer: (D)

In disaster planning, the focus is on where help and supplies can be found when disaster strikes. A resource map is the geographic map that outlines what resources are available and where they are located, such as shelters, medical facilities, water and food supplies, distribution points, and important access routes. This kind of map helps responders quickly locate what’s needed and coordinate relief efforts effectively.

Other terms describe different ideas: risk maps show potential hazards and how likely they are, scope refers to the extent or breadth of something, and intensity describes the severity of the hazard. Therefore, the term that fits is resource map.
