Knowledge and practice regarding disaster management among the IV year B.SC(N) students, that 5(11%) had inadequate knowledge, about 33(73%) had moderately adequate and 7(16%) had adequate knowledge that 1(2%) had inadequate practice, about 35(78%) had moderately adequate and 9(20%) had adequate practice. mean score of knowledge and practice were 14.37(SD = 3.122) and 9.4(SD = 2.047) respectively. Chi square value were calculated to find out the association between knowledge and practice regarding disaster management among IV year B.SC(N) students, with age (χ<sup>2</sup> = 3.86) association with religion (χ<sup>2</sup> = 5.96) and association with income (χ<sup>2</sup> = 3.94), with age (χ<sup>2</sup> = 7.54) association with religion (χ<sup>2</sup> = 0.87) and association with income (χ<sup>2</sup> =0 .41). there is no statically significant association between the selected demographic variables sex and income, but age only significant with the practice regarding disaster management among IV year B.SC(N) students.
