This study examines the relationship between non-governmental organisations’ (NGOs) socio-economic and training programmes and their beneficiaries’ coping capacity during natural disasters. NGOs are the most active force supporting community welfare programmes in dealing with vulnerable clients during disasters. This study utilises both qualitative and quantitative techniques based on multi-staged stratified sampling using multiple regression analysis. The results indicate that NGOs’ training reaction significantly improves their clients’ disaster prevention capacity. This finding implies that NGOs should put greater emphasis on socio-economic programmes as well as training programmes.
