Who should you notify immediately if MPPEH is disturbed?

• A. No one
• B. Superiors and EOD
• C. Local police and security
• D. Public relations

Answer: (B)

When MPPEH is disturbed, the top priority is getting trained people to assess and secure the situation. Disturbing MPPEH can release energetic material or hazardous substances, so you treat it as a potential blast or contamination risk. The best action is to quickly notify your supervisor and call for the Explosive Ordnance Disposal team. They are trained to determine the hazard, establish a safe perimeter, and manage proper disposal or further action. Supervisors ensure the right chain of command is informed and that safety measures are put in place, while EOD provides the specialized evaluation and response. Local police or security may help with area security, but they do not replace the EOD response. Public relations has no role in the immediate hazard response.
