At national level, the United States’ Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) holds the primary responsibility for disaster preparedness, response, and recovery. FEMA’s core mission is to aid both citizens and emergency personnel in enhancing the nation’s capacity to prepare for, shield against, respond to, rebound from, and mitigate a wide range of hazards.
We at Exitswitch™ have created a hierarchical web-structure map for disasters, categorizing them based on threat levels, from the least severe to the most critical. This map serves as a valuable reference for organizing prepping information and disaster preparedness.

This web structure map provides a framework for organizing disaster preparedness topics, with the threat level increasing as you move from the bottom to the top. Each level includes specific disaster titles and can be expanded upon with detailed articles, resources, and prepping strategies tailored to the respective threat level.
