Disaster Management QUESTION #6536
Question 1
Which factor most critically determines the success of community-based disaster preparedness programs?
  • Amount of training provided
  • Community ownership through participatory planning, devolved resources, and decision-making authority✔️
  • Quality of training materials
  • Number of participants
Correct Answer Explanation
Sections 4.3 and 13.4 emphasize that community preparedness succeeds when communities have actual decision-making power, resources, and ownership. External training without local authority and resources creates dependency rather than sustainable resilience.
