The increase in unpredictable natural disasters over the past decade has led to disaster preparedness being placed as a central issue in disaster management. Disaster preparedness reduces the risk of loss of life and injury and increases the ability to cope when danger occurs. Given the value of preparatory behavior, governments, local, national and international institutions and non-governmental organizations have made efforts to promote disaster preparedness. However, although a number of resources have been spent to promote behavioral preparedness, a common finding in research on natural disasters is that people fail to prepare for such disasters (Paton, 2005; Shaw 2004 ; Spittal, et.al). , 2005; Tierney, 1993; Kenny, 2009; Kapucu, 2008; For example, because nearly 91% of Americans live at moderate to high risk of natural disaster, only 16% prepare for natural disasters (Ripley, 2006). This lack of preparedness occurs in different places and involves different risks. . In the event of a hurricane, only half of all respondents living in Central Florida had a hurricane evacuation plan in place (Kapucu, 2008). Another finding found that only 8 percent of all respondents prepared a disaster supply kit at home. Kenny (2009) found that most residents of South Florida, a hurricane-prone region, did not take preparatory measures such as obtaining bottled water and food when storms hit. In another place and a different danger, the result of the study demonstrated the same observation. Paton and Prior (2008) studied bushfire preparedness in Tasmania and showed that most respondents had engaged in some minimal and limited form of protective behavior. They began preparing after being notified by emergency services. According to Nakagawa (2009), people are reluctant to take action by spending money and time because they perceive that certain disasters have a low probability. Since earthquakes, for example, are difficult to predict, people often tend to neglect earthquake preparedness. In a 1974 survey, Kenny (2009) concluded that only 12% of respondents in California households had taken steps to prevent earthquakes. However, Nakagawa (2009) also noted that although people frequently experience natural disasters such as floods and typhoons, they do not take appropriate measures. For example, only 10% of people were evacuated to safer locations when Typhoon Tokage hit Japan, in the city of Toyooka. Some have argued that the level of preparedness is most likely affected by direct experience of the disaster (Tierney, 1993).
