Abstract

The assessment of disaster preparedness of certain areas is to a large extent liable to subjectivity. For a modern society, however, objectivity is a prerequisite. A methodology is presented calculating the disaster preparednes of municipalities, counties, provinces, states, or even countries. Standardization of this methodology could allow comparison of disaster preparedness between these areas.
