Disaster preparedness is the process of planning, organizing, and coordinating measures that will enable individuals, communities, and organizations to effectively respond to and recover from natural or man-made disasters. This includes creating emergency response plans, training personnel, stockpiling necessary supplies, and conducting drills and exercises to ensure readiness in the event of a disaster. Disaster preparedness aims to mitigate the impact of disasters on lives, property, and the environment by ensuring quick and effective response and recovery efforts.
