It's pretty much what it sounds like. Imagine a disaster - a hurricaine, tornado or earthquake; an economic collapse, nuclear meltdown, disease pandemic - just about anything you think might be likely. Consider what you would need to come through the disaster. What supplies would you need, what tools, what knowlege. If you'd need to relocate, identify where you'd go. Then set about acquiring the supplies, tools and knowledge you woud need.

Everyone should prepare to deal with short term disasters like storms or earthquakes that occur in the area where you live. Store a few days food and water. Keep a well stocked medical kit, including a supply of any necessary medications. Have a battery powered radio and batteries for it - batteries for light and other necessities, too.

If you believe more serious or longer term disasters are likely, take it further. Be prepared to purify water, produce food, produce light and heat without batteries. Consider how you would defend yourself, your family and your belongings from people who are not prepared and become desparate.

Disaster preparedness can be fairly simple preparedness for short-term disruptions, or it can become the primary purpose in a family's life, or anything in between.
