During emergencies and disasters, emergency medical services (EMS) provide primary medical care to people who need immediate medical attention. Preparedness is the best strategy for effectively managing disaster risk and is critical for emergency medical services (EMS) providers, including paramedics, emergency medical technicians (EMTs) and other emergency responders. This systematic review aimed to examine data on the preparedness levels of emergency medical professionals in emergency and disaster situations through a comprehensive analysis of journal articles. The project analyzed peer-reviewed publications published between 2005 and 2019 to examine the level of preparedness of emergency medical professionals to respond to crises and disasters. A comprehensive search of Scopus, Web of Science, PubMed, and Google Scholar will be conducted to identify published articles on emergency response and disaster preparedness. To the best of our knowledge, there are no rigorous studies evaluating the preparedness levels of emergency service providers in disaster scenarios. This article is a first attempt to address this need. The study will also examine key aspects of disaster preparedness for emergency service providers and ways to improve their preparedness. The first step in creating an effective tool to assess and improve the preparedness of emergency service providers is to identify key aspects of emergency preparedness.
