The identified dimensions included needs assessment, selection and stockpiling of pharmaceuticals and equipment, demand forecasting, logistics infrastructure and distribution, inter-sectoral and inter-organizational coordination, and human resource and technological support. Preparedness was found to be a multidimensional and dynamic construct influenced by structural alignment, intelligent forecasting, efficient logistics management, coordinated governance, and the integration of advanced technologies.</span></span></span></span><br> <span style="font-size:11pt"><span style="line-height:150%"><span style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"><b><span new="" roman="" style="font-family:" times="">Conclusion:</span></b><br> <span new="" roman="" style="font-family:" times="">Strengthening supply chain preparedness in disasters requires a comprehensive approach encompassing workforce capacity building, data-driven forecasting systems, structural reform of logistics networks, and enhanced inter-organizational coordination.
