What should be utilized if VHF command frequency for MTZ is inaccessible?

If the VHF command frequency for the MTZ is inaccessible, utilizing 10K is the correct course of action. This represents a standard operational procedure where a designated alternative frequency is established to ensure continuous communication in scenarios where the primary frequency fails.

10K typically refers to a specific channel that has been pre-designated for such situations, allowing all personnel to switch to this frequency and maintain coordinated efforts without significant disruption. This ensures that command and control can be preserved, which is critical in emergency situations where reliable communication is necessary for effective incident management and safety.

The other options, while they may seem viable depending on the specific context, do not address the immediate need for an alternative established frequency as effectively as 10K does. Calling for backup may delay necessary communications and actions, engaging local radio could result in unclear signals or missed communications, and switching to UHF frequency could create complications if not previously coordinated with the entire team. Using 10K streamlines the process, making it the preferred choice in this scenario.
