During an alarm activation, what is the recommended action to ensure security coverage?

• A. Evacuate immediately
• B. Establish a 360-degree field of view around the area
• C. Set up a 360-degree field of view around the area
• D. Check the perimeter for leaks

Answer: (C)

Maximizing situational awareness around the alarm area is the goal. When an alarm sounds, you actively set up a 360-degree field of view around the area, positioning and orienting cameras, sensors, and observation to cover every direction. This full coverage helps detect threats quickly, reduces blind spots, and supports a fast, informed response. Evacuating immediately would remove ongoing visibility and monitoring, and checking the perimeter for leaks isn’t about monitoring for security threats during an alarm. Setting up the 360-degree view directly ensures continuous security coverage.
