2026Open accessAddis Ababa University

Abstract

Despite positive attitudes, disaster-preparedness knowledge and practical readiness among Ethiopian Emergency Department professionals remain suboptimal. The strong association between training and preparedness highlights the need for structured disaster-preparedness education and regular simulation-based training to strengthen response capacity.
