What is used to determine how many people received the alert, over what forms of communication they received it on, and is visible after the alert is sent?

• A. Audit Log
• B. Alert Reach Report
• C. Communication Ledger
• D. Personnel Reports

Answer: (D)

The thing being tested is how you verify who actually got notified, through which channels, and have that information available after you’ve sent the alert. Personnel Reports are the best fit because they pull from the roster and each person’s contact preferences and records, giving you a clear count of recipients and the specific forms of communication used (email, SMS, push, voice, etc.). This view remains accessible after the alert goes out because it reflects the personnel data and the delivery outcomes tied to that alert, letting you confirm coverage and channels for the entire target group.

An Audit Log tracks actions by people or systems, which is useful for traceability but doesn’t directly show who was reached or through which channels. An Alert Reach Report can indicate overall reach but may not tie it neatly to individual personnel records. A Communication Ledger logs individual messages but often doesn’t present a consolidated, post-dispatch view of who was reached across all channels for the target group.
