“…Regarding disaster prevention awareness, in this study, the mean total score on the Disaster Prevention Awareness Scale for City A was 82.3 points, which was significantly higher than that for the national survey of adult men and women reported by Shimazaki and Ozeki (2017). Particularly in City A, the score for "(3) orientation toward others" was high among the five sub-factors; this sub-factor refers to the intention to do something for the benefit of others and society (National Research Institute for Earth Science and Disaster Resilience (NIED), 2017).…”

Aim: This study aimed to clarify the factors influencing disaster prevention awareness and their association with disaster preparedness among residents living in mountainous areas of Japan. Methods: An anonymous self-administered questionnaire survey was conducted with health examination participants in City A in August 2018. The survey items included basic attributes, disaster prevention awareness and related factors, and disaster preparedness. Descriptive statistics were performed on each item, followed by a t-test and multiple regression analysis. Results: In total, 113 (48.7%) valid responses were received. The mean total score on the Disaster Prevention Awareness Scale was 82.3, which was significantly higher than that found in a national survey ( p < 0.01). As a result of the multiple regression analysis, "Number of years of residence" and "Experience participating in disaster prevention events" were extracted as factors affecting disaster awareness (R 2 = 0.222). Significant relationships ( p < 0.05) were found for all sub-factors except "Be covered by earthquake insurance". Conclusion:The implementation rate of disaster prevention awareness and preparedness among residents living in mountainous areas of Japan was higher than that reported in a national survey. "Number of years of residence" and "Experience participating in disaster prevention events" were extracted as factors affecting disaster awareness. In the context of preparedness, all items were related, except for "Be covered by earthquake insurance", which is difficult to address, even if disaster prevention awareness is high, because it represents an economic burden.

Disaster preparedness in schools is critical for the health and well-being of students and staff. To enhance disaster preparedness, awareness of disaster prevention should be raised among teachers. The aim of the current study was to assess disaster prevention awareness among teachers and to clarify the relationship between disaster prevention awareness and concern regarding disaster preparedness. Teachers from special needs schools, for which disaster preparedness is particularly important, were selected. Study questionnaires were sent to 1310 schools for children with special health care needs across 47 Japanese prefectures. Five-hundred-and-thirty-one complete responses were obtained. The disaster preparedness in the schools was insufficient. Teachers were concerned about child management, life saving, life maintenance, evacuation shelter management, and school management. There was a positive correlation between disaster prevention awareness and concern about disaster (r = 0.217, p-value = 0.000). The disaster awareness scale items “A sense of crisis about disaster” and “Anxiety” were positively correlated with concern about disaster, whereas “Imagining the disaster situation” was negatively correlated with concern about disaster. The current study analyzed the relationship between disaster prevention awareness and concern regarding disaster preparedness, which is relevant for the practice and indicates the importance of imagination strengthening.
