dc.description.abstractDisasters have devastated the long-term development progress of many countries worldwide. Many ordinary people, like Kenya, have experienced difficulties living and working in many countries. The physical, economic and political destiny of the people has been endangered with any emergency or disaster affecting humanity. The report primarily analysed the provision of emergency recovery resources, the degree to which disaster relief policies are complied with, the nature of catastrophe response strategies implemented and the clinic's disaster management resiliency issues. In this study, a descriptive research methodology was used and based on the philosophy of emergency management. The analysis showed that the presence of a disaster response approach is crucial in the prevention of catastrophes because it provides disaster deployers with the required strategies. The study also found that Kenyatta National Hospital's emergency preparation infrastructure was inadequate to handle immediate emergencies. It is also recommended that Kenyatta National Hospital Management and hospital partners prioritize staff readiness for disaster-related emergencies. Moreover, the hospital and the government should provide suitable services, such as security devices used by medical staff, to enable the hospital to harmonize its service and care and to better handle the victims of a tragedyen_US
