Which CASREP type would you issue to transmit new or revised information about an incident?

• A. Initial
• B. Update
• C. Correct
• D. Cancel

Answer: (B)

When information about an incident evolves, you use an Update CASREP. This type is designed to convey new or revised details—such as changes in impact, progress on restoration, or additional affected assets—so the audience has the latest status without starting a new report. It keeps the incident narrative current and continuous, building on what was previously transmitted. If the incident is being reported for the first time, you would issue an Initial report; to fix mistakes in a prior CASREP, you’d use a Correct; and to stop or withdraw a report, you’d issue a Cancel. So, for transmitting fresh or revised information about the incident, an Update is the appropriate choice.
