Disaster Prepardness and Mitigation among Non-Medical Students

A quantitative quasi-experimental research design was used. A total of 60 non medical students are selected by non-probability purposive sampling and divided into experimental and control group. Qquestionnaire was used for data collection and educational programme as an intervention in relation to assess the knowledge among non medical students. A highly significant difference was found between pre-test and post-test mean score on knowledge (p<0.05 at 5% level of significance). The study found that the educational programme was very effective and knowledge regarding disaster preparedness and mitigation has been gradually increased among non-medical students.
