Abstract
Disaster preparedness is a broad notion that covers steps taken to mitigate the effects of disasters and support the vulnerable communitys activities. Disaster management plans are required to guarantee that communities are adequately prepared, disaster management plans are required, and community involvement in DRR planning is crucial. In a disaster management strategy, the vulnerability of the poor community must be taken into consideration. In order to make the community resilient to catastrophes and provide it with the capacity to withstand the conditions on its own, the community should be included in the development of the community management plan. It can be challenging to take the first step, but doing so will ensure community safety for future generations. Highlight: In this study, the vulnerability, preparedness and mitigation of the community during a disaster time are highlighted in a broader manner.
