Effective disaster preparedness starts at the community level. When local governments, organizations, and residents collaborate to assess risks and plan, they can mitigate harm, protect infrastructure, and recover more efficiently. A prepared community is better equipped to maintain essential services, coordinate emergency efforts, and adapt to evolving situations during a crisis.
