In times of disaster, it is essential to consider the experiences and preparedness of persons with disabilities. This study provided a meta-synthesis of disaster experiences and preparedness of people with disabilities. Eighteen (18) out of 504 studies were chosen based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The quality of the selected articles was assessed using the Critical Appraisal Skills Programme (CASP) and arranged using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and MetaAnalyses (PRISMA) diagram. The synthesized data were analyzed using Clark and Braun’s six-step thematic analysis, and have resulted in twelve (12) themes, namely: increased vulnerability and marginalization, inaccessible formats of information limit mobility and awareness, initiatives are transparent, dependency on people, post-disaster services are not inclusive, disaster creates injuries and disabilities, participation in planning is limited, unfamiliarity results in limited awareness, initiatives improve preparedness, plans are developed for them rather than by them, preparation is costly, and develops self-made strategy for survival. In conclusion, the preparation and participation of people with disabilities in disaster risk reduction and management are limited. It is recommended that disaster risk reduction training and planning be inclusive for people with disabilities
