摘要

In this chapter, we examine the critical intersection of resilience, disaster preparedness, and sustainability within the context of social work education. We investigate how social work practitioners can effectively address the multifaceted challenges of disasters. Based on contemporary research and practical experiences, we provide insights into developing comprehensive strategies that enhance the resilience of vulnerable populations, emphasising a holistic approach to disaster preparedness and sustainable recovery. The timeliness of resilience, disaster preparedness, and sustainability lies in their critical relevance to addressing contemporary global disasters. With the increasing frequency and severity of disasters, it is important that social work education equips practitioners to respond effectively. Most importantly, the disproportionate impact of these disasters on communities underscores the urgency of preparing social workers to promote equity and justice. Integrating the concepts of resilience and sustainability into education ensures that social workers can engage in effective policy advocacy, community resilience building, and ethical disaster response. This chapter is vital for educators, practitioners, and policymakers seeking to integrate disaster preparedness and sustainability principles into social work curricula and practice.
