Abstract

Natural disaster represents one of the significant challenges in the high-altitude regions of Tajikistan. The inadequate integration of disaster risk reduction strategies within sectoral policies and strategies further exacerbates the problem, underscoring the urgent need for a comprehensive and coordinated approach to disaster management in the region. This research aims to provide a comprehensive study of disaster management in Tajikistan, focusing on the critical aspects of preparedness necessary to effectively combat natural disasters. Situated in a region with complex geography, Tajikistan's vulnerability to various types of natural disasters requires a robust and well-coordinated approach to study disaster management. Through a comprehensive exploration of existing literature, policy documents, and empirical data, this research seeks to provide an in-depth analysis of the challenges and issues that Tajikistan faces in its efforts to enhance preparedness for managing natural disasters. The main objective of this study is to assess the challenges and issues the country faces in its attempts to enhance preparedness, with a specific focus on, economic support mechanisms, medication availability, availability of rescue teams and the establishment of secure capacities for civilians.
