4.Read the following passage carefully and then answer the questions that follow:

A wildfire is unplanned fire that burns in natural areas such as forest, grassland, or prairie. The wildfire can spread quickly and can devastate not only wildlife and natural areas but also communities.

The risk of wildfires depends on a number of factors, including temperature, soil moisture, and the presence of trees, shrubs and other potential fuels.

Wildfires can disrupt transportation, communications, power and gas services as well as water supply. They also simultaneously impact weather and the climate by releasing large quantities of carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide and fire particulate matters into the atmosphere. Resulting air pollution can cause a range of health issues, including respiratory and cardiovascular problems. Another significant health effect of wildfires is on mental health and psychosocial well-being.

The magnitude of the physical and human costs from wildfires can be reduced if adequate emergence prevention, preparedness, response and recovery measures are implemented in sustainable and timely manner. This includes strengthening human resources for disaster management, containing the release of harzadous materials, putting in place early warning systems and issuing health and air quality advisories.
