Scenarios about 'disaster preparedness'
Disaster preparedness encompasses the strategies, policies, and actions taken by governments, communities, and individuals to minimize the impacts of natural or human-caused catastrophes. Throughout history, societies have developed increasingly sophisticated approaches to anticipate, respond to, and recover from events like earthquakes, floods, and pandemics. In alternate history scenarios, different levels of preparedness often serve as critical divergence points, where improved or diminished readiness fundamentally alters historical outcomes and societal development.
