Why should you submit a 'Handle With Care' notification?

• A. All of the above
• B. To expedite the response
• C. To protect privacy and minimize trauma
• D. To ensure accurate information is shared

Answer: (A)

Submitting a Handle With Care notification is about guiding how sensitive incident information should be shared, with a focus on speed, privacy, and accuracy. Expediting the response helps ensure the right agencies and personnel are alerted quickly so help can reach those in need without delay. Protecting privacy and minimizing trauma means restricting personal details and graphic information to prevent re-traumatizing victims and to avoid unnecessary harm or sensationalism. Ensuring accurate information is shared means taking time to verify facts and phrase them carefully, reducing rumors or misreporting that could hinder the investigation or mislead the public. When these goals are considered together, it makes sense that the notification serves all these purposes, which is why the best choice reflects all of them.
