During a disaster, D-MORT personnel have an obligation to aid which group?

The correct choice is the deceased next of kin, as D-MORT (Disaster Mortuary Operational Response Teams) personnel are specifically trained to assist families who have lost loved ones in a disaster scenario. Their primary responsibility includes providing support and information to the next of kin, helping them navigate administrative processes related to the deceased, and ensuring that the identification and disposition of the remains are handled with dignity and respect.

In the context of disaster response, D-MORT teams focus on the recovery and identification of deceased individuals, and part of their role is to provide compassionate care to grieving families. This involves not only logistical support but also emotional support during a profoundly difficult time.

Local authorities, volunteers from the community, and fellow rescue workers may also be important in a disaster situation. However, the specific obligation of D-MORT personnel centers on aiding the next of kin, ensuring that their needs are prioritized and addressed in a sensitive manner during the response and recovery efforts.
