Even if others do not agree to follow you, if you feel it's best to escape you should do it?

• A. True
• B. False
• C. Not sure
• D. N/A

Answer: (A)

In emergencies, your safety comes first and you should act on your best judgment about escaping. If you determine that leaving now is the safest choice, you should do so even if others don’t agree to follow. Waiting for everyone to agree can waste precious seconds and put you at greater risk, since you can’t rely on others to react in the same way or time frame. You can still try to alert and urge others to evacuate, but delaying your own escape for their agreement isn’t the safer option. Move toward the nearest safe exit, avoid hazards like smoke or dangerous areas, and, once outside, report your status and assist only if it won’t put you at risk.
