With the escalating number of disaster occurrence worldwide, it will assist them in providing emergency care to the affected population thus prepared them to facing disasters and its aftermath. Objective: The aim is to determine ENs’ knowledge and identifying its predictor factor. Methodology: This cross-sectional study using questionnaire and distributed to randomly selected 132 ENs. Results: The study shows the ENs identified as having inadequate know ledge in disaster management. Involvement of EN in the disaster response showed significant value (χ2=4.096, p-value=0.043) and those who had attended disaster training also illustrated significant value (χ2=12.438, p-value=0.000). The analysis continued with multiple logistic regression where the results shows involvement of EN is not a predictor factor to their adequacy of knowledge. Instead, EN who have attended disaster training showed it became a predictor factor (p< 0.01, AOR=3.807, 95% CI=1.584-9.153) where those who attended the disaster training is four times more likely to have ad equate knowledge in disaster management. Conclusion: It has been proven that adequacy of knowledge is driven by attending disaster t raining. Thus, it is paramount for organization to conduct disaster training activities to improve knowledge, further improve their preparedness upon disaster events.
