Abstract: The study sought to examine disaster preparation, management, and mitigation techniques in Kenya. The study methodology involved literature review of previous studies and the information available to the public on the official government and government departmental websites. The study also reviews the government policies and plans, and legislations that have been put in place by the government and whether or not these policies are suitable for application in real-life situations. Results from the study show that there have been some tremendous efforts taken by different levels of government as well as stakeholders within the country to improve disaster preparedness, management, and mitigation but these could not be fully implemented considering the increase in vulnerability index due to climate change. There are various government policies and departments established under the office of the president under various ministries when as those established through Acts of Parliament, whose goal has been to improve coordination and resource mobilization and deployment towards disaster preparedness, management, and mitigation
