This research explores strategies for effectively preparing for and mitigating the impact of seismic natural disasters on individuals and their health. The study underscores the potential for sustainable furniture solutions to play a pivotal role, emphasising the critical need for proactive disaster risk reduction. Drawing on descriptive analysis of case studies from events such as the Tokyo and Paris Olympics, the research employs an analytical framework to examine the application of recycled cardboard furniture in addressing the needs of disaster-prone regions. The study advocates for locally sourced solutions to enhance preparedness, response, and recovery efforts by optimising the utilisation of sustainable furniture, particularly in developing countries like Palestine. The findings suggest that leveraging locally recycled cardboard furniture can offer a scalable, cost-effective approach to furnishing disaster-affected areas, facilitating ease of transportation, storage, and assembly without requiring specialised skills.
