Vertical evacuation is even more difficult to achieve due to the adverse climatic conditions and scattered fallen objects in an earthquake [6]. Individuals' behaviour may be irrational and complicated in case of an emergency [7].…”

The earthquake that occurred in Cianjur Regency on December 21, 2022 had a wide impact on the city of Jakarta and its surroundings. The shocks caused by the Cianjur earthquake were also felt by workers who were in high-rise buildings in the city of Jakarta and its surroundings. Evacuating employees in high-rise buildings has its own challenges, employee knowledge in earthquake evacuation is an interesting thing to study. This study aims to examine the level of knowledge of employees in earthquake evacuation and the factors that influence it. The survey was conducted on 79 worker respondents who have offices in high-rise buildings in Jakarta and its surroundings. The sampling was done randomly. Data collection was carried out using a questionnaire designed to measure the variables of knowledge, experience and training. The results showed that 63.3% of the respondents had never experienced a destructive earthquake, 30.4% rarely experienced a destructive earthquake, and 6.3% often experienced a destructive earthquake. Respondents had never participated in earthquake preparedness training 34.2%, 50.6% rarely attended, and 15,2% often attended earthquake preparedness training. Respondents’ level of knowledge in earthquake preparedness was 91.1% in the high category and 8,9% in the moderate category. Training has a significant effect on earthquake preparedness knowledge.
