Introduction Preparedness, focused on planning, training, and research, is one of the primary stages of the disaster management cycle. Accordingly, this study was conducted to determine the level of awareness in nursing managers and the preparedness of hospitals for disasters in the hospitals of Sanandaj, the capital of Kurdistan Province. Methods This cross-sectional study was conducted in 2023, with a total of 167 Nursing Managers in Sanandaj selected as the research sample using a census approach. Data were collected using a demographic information form, WHO Hospital Emergency Response Checklist, and managers’ emergency awareness questionnaire. Data were analyzed using Chi-square tests, Fisher’s exact test, independent t-tests, analysis of variance (ANOVA), and Pearson correlation. Data analysis was performed using SPSS v26 (P < 0.05). Findings The results indicated that the overall mean score of managers’ awareness was 77.89%, categorized as good. The assessment of hospital preparedness showed that the overall emergency preparedness level of hospitals in Sanandaj was 69.23%, considered strong. Among the dimensions of hospital preparedness, the highest score was in the command-and-control dimension at 83.33%, while the lowest was in the human resources dimension at 56.66%. Conclusion The findings indicated a high level of awareness among nursing managers and a strong level of hospital preparedness in Sanandaj. However, improving and enhancing specific dimensions may require targeted educational and organizational approaches.
