Disaster is a sudden adverse or unfortunate extreme event, which causes great damage to human beings as well as plants and animals. Disasters occur rapidly, instantaneously and indiscriminately. These extreme events either natural or man-induced exceed the tolerable magnitude within or beyond certain time limits, make adjustment difficult, result in catastrophic losses of property and income and life is paralyzed. These events which occur aggravate natural environmental processes to cause disasters to human society such as sudden tectonic movements leading to earthquake and volcanic eruptions, continued dry conditions leading to prolonged droughts, floods, atmospheric disturbances, collision of celestial bodies. Based on the problem selected and objectives of the study, a pre-experimental research design was selected to assess the effectiveness of awareness programme regarding disaster preparedness and first aid management among school teachers in selected area of Bhila. Sixty subjects were selected in selected area of Bhilai by non-probability sampling technique for this study. Observational checklist and self-structured questionnaire was used for data collection and was analysed by descriptive and inferential statistics using chi-square and t-test. The findings revealed that posttest mean score was 27.68, mean percentage 69.2, SD 4.85 at p ≤ 0.05.The findings also revealed that no association of pretest score was found with age, Educational status, teaching level, year of teaching experience and source of information at (p<0.05 ). The findings also revealed that association of pretest score was found with gender, and type of family at (p<0.0 ).
