The preparedness paradox is the proposition that if a society or individual acts effectively to mitigate a potential disaster such as a pandemic, natural disaster or other catastrophe so that it causes less harm, the avoided danger will be perceived as having been much less serious because of the limited damage actually caused. The paradox is the incorrect perception that there had been no need for careful preparation as there was little harm, although in reality the limitation of the harm was due to preparation. Several cognitive biases can consequently hamper proper preparation for future risks.

- La paradoja de la preparación es la proposición de que si una sociedad o un individuo actúa eficazmente para mitigar un desastre potencial, como una pandemia, un desastre natural u otra catástrofe, de modo que cause menos daño, el peligro evitado se percibirá como mucho menos grave debido al daño limitado realmente causado. La paradoja es la percepción incorrecta de que no hubo necesidad de una preparación cuidadosa ya que hubo poco daño, aunque en realidad la limitación del daño se debió a la preparación. En consecuencia, varios sesgos cognitivos pueden dificultar la preparación adecuada para riesgos futuros. (es)

El término «paradoja de la preparación»" se ha utilizado ocasionalmente desde al menos 1949 en diferentes contextos. (es)
