CDO positions in an on-call status must be prepared for and able to physically return to the CC within?

• A. One Hour
• B. Thirty Minutes
• C. Two Hours
• D. Four Hours

Answer: (A)

Quick, reliable physical presence at the Command Center is what this item tests. CDO positions in on-call status must be prepared to physically return to the CC within one hour. That tight window ensures you can immediately participate in emergency coordination, shift handoffs, and decision-making during critical events. Being prepared means you have your gear, credentials, and travel plans ready, and you’re positioned to move quickly when notified. The other timeframes are less practical: thirty minutes would require almost universal proximity and flawless routing; two or four hours would create dangerous gaps in command and control during high-tempo periods. One hour keeps coverage tight while still being feasible across typical duty setups.
