Resource Library

PrepareCenter.org is a global site to share knowledge on preparedness programs, tools and experiences. The Resource Library contains a searchable inventory of documents related to hazards and disaster preparedness in communities around the globe. The portal hosts a repository of program documentation, policies, annual reports, lessons learnt, and tools and methodologies that can help you design and learn about preparedness operations in any region. Use the search box and filters to the right to better find what you’re looking for.

This site relies on your input to keep it useful and relevant. If you have a resource that is not already in the portal, help out by uploading the file using the ‘Add a Resource’ link.
