The case considered is the South Iceland earthquake sequence of June 2000. This includes two moderate sized shallow strike-slip earthquakes with high peak ground acceleration in the epicentral area. After the earthquakes a survey on earthquake intensities was carried out by the Earthquake Engineering Research Centre of the University of Iceland. The survey also included questions addressing safety issues, as well as demographic information. The data dealt with herein cover a total of 249 respondents in the epicentral area. In the analysis presented the main emphasis is on the following three questions. Did you manage to seek shelter inside a house during the earthquake? Did you manage to keep your balance? How long did it take for you to recover? The main finding is that the data indicate a tendency towards gender dependent earthquake perception, which in some cases appears to be a statistically significant.
