Given Data / Assumptions:

  • I: Evacuate vulnerable populations.
  • II: Issue mass alerts via radio/TV.
  • III: Desilt post-flood to restore capacity.

Concept / Approach:Evacuation and alerts reduce casualties; desilting increases carrying capacity and reduces future risk.

Step-by-Step Solution:1) Trigger staged evacuation.2) Broadcast warnings and safety guidance.3) Plan desilting after water recedes, with environmental safeguards.

Verification / Alternative check:Disaster protocols support all three actions.

Why Other Options Are Wrong:Partial choices ignore either immediate safety or future prevention.

Final Answer:All follow.
