Which governance activity helps ensure continuous improvement of time-based responses?

• A. One-off compliance review
• B. Regular drills, after-action reviews, and corrective-action tracking
• C. Annual budget approval
• D. Vendor contract renewal

Answer: (B)

Continuous improvement of time-based responses relies on creating a feedback loop through practice, evaluation, and follow‑through. Regular drills simulate real conditions and measure how quickly actions are taken, after-action reviews pinpoint what went well or where delays occurred, and corrective-action tracking ensures those issues are addressed, assigned, and closed with measurable improvements. This combination builds the ongoing capability to shorten response times over time. One-off compliance reviews look at a snapshot rather than a sustained loop, annual budget approval is an administrative task not focused on improving response speed, and vendor contract renewal affects external capabilities but does not establish the continuous improvement process for time-based responses.
