<![CDATA[This study conducts a systematic literature review to examine how small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) can enhance resilience and adaptability through disaster management strategies. Using the PRISMA framework, relevant studies published between 2010 and 2023 were retrieved from Scopus, Web of Science, and Google Scholar. The findings reveal three dominant thematic areas: (1) preparedness and continuity planning, (2) the use of digital technologies and innovation, and (3) the role of government and institutional support in post-disaster recovery. The review highlights several innovative and sustainable strategies adopted by resilient SMEs, including digital transformation for business continuity, collaborative networks with public and private stakeholders, and proactive risk mitigation practices. These strategies demonstrate that SMEs are not only capable of surviving disasters but can also achieve long-term sustainability when supported by appropriate technological and policy frameworks. This study contributes to the literature by synthesizing fragmented findings into an integrated framework of disaster resilience strategies for SMEs and by identifying critical research gaps related to technology-driven solutions and policy interventions. The results provide practical implications for SME owners, policymakers, and development agencies seeking to strengthen disaster preparedness and resilience in vulnerable business sectors.]]>
