The world is suffering the effects of climate change-induced disasters, which have resulted in economic loss and loss of life. Some of the climate change-induced disasters include floods, tornadoes, earthquakes, heat waves, and many others. However, according to research, the effects of climate change will be felt a thousand years from now, in the instance that there are no more greenhouse gas emissions. Therefore, with the knowledge that climate change is here to stay, there is a need to mitigate its effects through disaster management preparedness. This project will look into the current gaps that disaster management teams experience, including using a reactive approach, lack of communication, and inadequate resource allocation. I also propose measures such as increased communication, training, and the use of technology. The research method will be qualitative and quantitative, and the results will be disseminated through a report.
