After an evacuation where safety instructions were not followed, which individuals should be informed for appropriate follow-up?

• A. Captain and Purser
• B. Airline operations center
• C. Local authorities
• D. Airport management

Answer: (A)

Post-evacuation follow-up relies on the people who hold both flight and cabin responsibility on board. The Captain is the ultimate authority for safety and flight operations, so they lead the post-evacuation actions, determine what needs to be reported, and ensure the right internal channels are engaged for a proper safety review. The Purser, as the senior cabin crew member, manages the cabin after evacuation, ensures all passengers and crew are accounted for, documents any deviations from safety instructions, and communicates these details to the Captain for formal follow-up. While external entities like the operations center or authorities may become involved later, the immediate on-board recipients who coordinate and initiate the appropriate follow-up are the Captain and the Purser.
