Disaster preparedness is a program to strengthen a country

Disaster preparedness includes organizing and educating the community and all responsible organizations to facilitate disaster intervention and management, early warning, emergency evacuation, rescue operations, and medical services in the event of a disaster or emergency.

Preparedness means the capacities and knowledge developed by governments, formal and crisis response organizations, as well as communities and individuals, to anticipate potential and imminent risks and conditions and to respond effectively to their effects. Disaster preparedness measures are performed in the context of disaster risk management and should be based on disaster risk analysis and closely related to early warning.
