Preparedness is the state of being ready, especially for something difficult, dangerous, or unexpected — an earthquake, a storm, a war, or a health emergency. It's a fairly formal, official-sounding word, the kind you see in government or workplace documents rather than in casual talk. 'Disaster preparedness' means the plans, training, and supplies a community has ready before something bad happens, so it can respond quickly instead of panicking.
準備狀態、戒備、應變能力
組成prepared + -ness (turns an adjective into a noun about a state or quality).
