Why Should You Prepare for Emergency Situations?
There are countless reasons to be prepared, but one stands out above the rest—peace of mind. Knowing that you have the resources and skills to handle an emergency can reduce anxiety and boost confidence.
As a research-based informational website, our goal is to encourage preparedness without installing fear. Being ready for unexpected situations not only provides reassurance but could also save your life or the lives of those around you.
Over time, numerous research papers have explored the benefits of prepping on mental health. After reviewing many of these studies, I found that two papers stand out above the rest. Below, I have listed them along with links for you to review.
Integrating mental health and disaster preparedness in intervention: a randomized controlled trial with earthquake and flood-affected communities in Haiti - Welton-Mitchell et al. BMC Psychiatry (2018)
An integrated approach to mental health and disaster preparedness: a cluster comparison with earthquake affected communities in Nepal - James LE, Welton-Mitchell C,
