What is the purpose of a Level "B" response?

For incidents needing longer recovery times
To assist with incidents that require an "A" and "B" team response
For all routine emergencies
To provide only logistical support

The correct answer is: To assist with incidents that require an "A" and "B" team response

A Level "B" response is specifically designed to assist with incidents that require coordination and multiple team involvement, particularly when an "A" team is already engaged in handling the situation. This kind of response is essential in complex scenarios where different teams must work in tandem to ensure effective management and resolution of the incident. The presence of both "A" and "B" teams allows for a more comprehensive approach to crisis management, ensuring that all aspects of an emergency are addressed efficiently. The other options do not accurately capture the essence of a Level "B" response. For instance, a response intended solely for longer recovery times, routine emergencies, or logistical support lacks the multilevel team coordination that a Level "B" response signifies. Understanding the specific roles and purposes of different response levels is crucial for effective operational planning in emergency situations.
