Explanation:

Disaster preparedness refers to measures taken to prepare for and reduce the effects of disasters. That is, to predict and - where possible - prevent disasters, mitigate their impact on vulnerable populations, and respond to and effectively cope with their consequences, at local, national and international levels. DP is central to the work of the every individual National Society and International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC).

This work, key to development, essentially involves reducing the vulnerability of households and communities in disaster-prone areas and improving their ability to cope with the effects of disasters; strengthening the capacities of National Societies in disaster preparedness and post-disaster response; determining a National Society role and mandate in national disaster plans; and establishing regional networks of National Societies that will strengthen the Federation’s collective impact in disaster preparedness and response at the international level.

DP provides an opportunity to design effective, realistic and coordinated planning, reduces duplication of efforts and increases the overall effectiveness of disaster preparedness activities by National Societies, households and community members. DP efforts can help minimize the impact of disasters on communities and also result in saving more lives and safeguarding livelihoods during any disaster situation and enable the affected population to return to a normal lifestyle within a short time period. The IFRC supports the strengthening of DP at different levels.
