Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The emergency assessment function is responsible for collecting and analyzing information from various sources to assess the impact and scope of the incident. This information is then used to inform and guide the Population Protection Function, which is responsible for developing strategies to protect people affected by the incident. Therefore, the correct answer is A) Population protection function. The Severity of impact, Immediacy function, and Duration of impact are important considerations in emergency management, but they are not directly tied to the emergency assessment function.
