Disaster preparedness is the measure taken in advance by governments, organisations, communities, or individuals to better respond to and cope with the immediate aftermath of a disaster, whether caused by humans or natural hazards. The goal is to minimise the loss of life and livelihood. Simple actions can go a long way, such as training for search and rescue, establishing early warning systems, developing contingency plans, or stockpiling equipment and supplies. Disaster preparedness is critical in helping communities build resilience.
