Decision making and Interpersonal Skills Decision making

Given below items. Each item describes a situation and is followed by four possible responses. Indicate the response you find most appropriate.

Situation: In last year’s cyclone in Orissa more than 10,000 people and lakhs of cattle perished. You are the shelter coordinator for Jagatsinghpur. The coming summer is likely to be very hot with substantial rise in the temperature. In the cast affected areas, most of the people are living in polythene covered shelters with practically no plants or trees around. Some people said that they experienced salty rain during and after cyclone.

What will be your action to take further decisions?

Ask the scientist and health specialists to formulate a programme to cope with the situation in cost effective and simple manner

Ask the agricultural scientist to provide guidelines with regard to the variety of seeds and kind of fertilizers best suited for the present sold and weather conditions

Care must be taken to prevent possible dumping of genetically engineered seeds from the MNC’s

All of the above

Explanation:

Let’s break it down:

- Option 1: Get scientists and health experts involved. That’s smart—they can figure out immediate, practical ways to keep people healthy and cool, given the current (and pretty dire) shelter situation.

- Option 2: Consult agricultural scientists. You’d want this for long-term recovery—knowing what seeds and fertilizers survive in this salt-affected soil is key for food security and getting farming back on track.

- Option 3: Keep an eye on genetically modified seeds from big companies. Fair point—crisis zones can become dumping grounds for things people may not want or understand, and you don’t want to create new problems.

- Option 4: All of the above. Here’s the thing: disaster response is never one-dimensional. Each of the above actions catches a different but critical angle—immediate health, long-term food security, and local autonomy.

Correct Answer: Option 4 – All of the above

Each response covers a necessary part of helping people recover and stay safe. Ignoring any of these would leave a real gap in your response plan. This is a situation where you can’t afford to think small.
