Any input on the question that had to do with the Mobilization . I remember there was 3 choices being the Stadium,the Park & the Gas Station. I knew the Gas Station answer was ridiculous and picked the "Stadium". Someone told me this was wrong due to the upwind nonsense. Any thoughts ?
No I didn't that's why I picked the Park but a friend of mine was so adamant that it was the Stadium. I said the same thing as you to him but he gave me some B.S. convuluted response. Oh and then he was talking about that upwind B.S. that I distincly remember from the Key class. Thanks for replying.
the park was the best answer and it was the only one that was about 1000 ft from the explotion and big enough for the level 3. the school was closed cuz it was saturday. the gas station is too dangerous, and the statium had a concert.
I didn't pick the school cause if I remember correctly it was less than 1000 Feet. But being Closed should not have swayed you. If anything it being closed should have been a reason for you to pick it as opposed to it being full of students.
The immediate question after that (best route to the mobilization point) should had given you the definite answer, if you were not sure in the first place. Remember the mobilization point has to be BIG ENOUGH to accommodate a level 4. Second, stadium=concert at that time. School = too close. Gas station !!! C'mon. The wind was some sort of southern wind. The park was north of the explosion. Bottom line, there was only one good route leading to the mobilization point, and that was the route to the park.
If you google southerly winds, weather is given from where winds are originating from, direction will be south to north leaving only the stadium as an option. Definitely a contestable question if other than stadium. Plus if it was a real life scenario you will be exposing anyone downwind ( stadium attendants ) to fumes
Dude is the park do not argue about this question ...nexttt....got this one right in the patrol guide it also states u need to be upwind from a fire/smoke and the wind was blowing south so you need to go upwind north so the answer is the park...Thats the reason i pick the park i did not even know or care about other spots being closed i just remember reading that in the patrol guide...

Q: Are southwest winds coming from the southwest or blowing toward the southwest?
A: Wind direction is given as the direction from which it is blowing. Therefore, a southwest wind is blowing from the southwest and toward the northeast. While winds are always named for the direction of the source, confusion arises when directions are used in other contexts. For example, a "southerly" wind means that is blowing from the south, but a ship that takes a "southerly" course is moving toward the south.

Q: Why does March always seem to be so much windier than other months?
