Heading Title 1

Responding to an environmental emergency

Fortunately Phil is walking past the tanker when the spill occurs.

The truck driver is concerned that the milk is running into the stormwater drain and asks Phil if the stormwater has an auto divert. Phil knows there is no auto divert, but isn’t sure what they should do next.

What should Phil and the driver do?

They should take action immediately to block off the drain.</li> <li>Incorrect. Milk in the stormwater drain is a serious environmental issue.</li> <li>Incorrect. The first step should be to take action to block off the drain.</li> <li>This is a good idea if Dorothy is there, but if she is not there, they should first take action to block off the drain before finding Dorothy to notify her.</li> </ol>
