🔍 Key Concepts

• Emergency response priorities on a MODU (life, then stability, then property) • Difference between known cause vs. unknown cause of a list/trim • Risks of acting on assumptions (e.g., counterflooding) without verification

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: if the list/trim is from an unknown cause, what is the safest way to avoid making the situation worse? • Consider what could happen if you assume the cause and start counterflooding or shifting weight in the wrong direction. • In stability emergencies, what must you understand before choosing a corrective action?

✅ Before You Answer

• Look for the option that does not assume a specific cause (loading or environmental) when the problem is stated as unknown. • Consider which action, if taken first, could be irreversible and dangerous if your assumption is wrong (especially regarding counterflooding). • Verify which choice focuses on information and assessment before major corrective measures.
