In SAR public affairs, the motto 'maximum disclosure with minimum' refers to which term?

• A. Disclosure
• B. Delay
• C. Speculation
• D. Rumor

Answer: (B)

In SAR public affairs, you want to share as much accurate information as possible, as quickly as you can, without compromising safety or privacy. The phrase you’re looking for is Delay, because the motto is “maximum disclosure with minimum delay.” It emphasizes releasing information promptly rather than withholding it or letting it lag, so the public and responders aren’t left guessing. Speculation and rumors are what you’re trying to prevent by providing timely, verified details, while disclosure is the goal—done as fast as possible. In practice, that means giving clear, confirmed updates as soon as they’re available and updating them as new facts come in, rather than waiting for perfect information.
