Community Preparedness Programs
Community Preparedness Programs are coordinated efforts that help neighborhoods and local organizations plan and practice responses to emergencies like natural disasters, accidents, or public health crises. These programs aim to build awareness, improve communication, and strengthen resources so communities can protect themselves and recover quickly. They often include training, planning exercises, and awareness campaigns to ensure residents know what to do before, during, and after an emergency. The goal is to foster resilience and ensure everyone is better prepared to handle unexpected situations collectively.
