Non-material preparedness in household disaster readiness: a scoping review
Abstract
ObjectiveTo conduct a scoping review of non-material preparedness for household disaster readiness in the context of disasters, and to provide a reference for improving household emergency response and disaster preparedness capabilities.MethodsIn accordance with the methodological guidelines for scoping reviews, databases including CNKI, Wanfang Data, PubMed, and Web of Science were searched. The search timeframe covered from the establishment of each database to December 2025. The retrieved results were subjected to screening, collation, and data extraction.ResultsA total of 13 articles were included. Non-material preparedness in household disaster preparedness is currently in a stage of gradual development, mainly covering health education interventions, psychological support and counseling, technology application and digital platform construction, community-based participatory approaches, as well as disaster scenario simulation and systematic deduction.ConclusionNon-material preparedness in household disaster preparedness has demonstrated good feasibility and preliminary effectiveness, yet there remains room for improvement in its promotion, evaluation, and long-term sustainability. Future research should be large-scale and high-quality to provide stronger evidence for this field.Systematic review registrationhttps://doi.org/10.17605/OSF.IO/ZCF29, identifier OSF.IO/ZCF29.
