Study on Residents’ Disaster Prevention Awareness for Tsunami in Valparaíso, Chile


Abstract eng:
We conducted two questionnaire surveys to investigate the tsunami disaster prevention awareness for the residents in Valparaíso, Chile. One was conducted on April 2015 and the other was conducted December 2015. The second one was conducted after the Illapel Earthquake and Tsunami occurred on September 2015. The number of the questions is 30 and 23 for the first survey and the second survey, respectively. In this paper, the results of the typical questions are shown as follows; (1) They have the correct knowledge or not. (2) They have had the education about Tsunami and Tsunami evacuation. (3) They make a Tsunami risk communication with their family. (4) They know the Tsunami hazard/risk map in Valparaíso. These results are compared between the first survey and the second survey. These results indicate that proportion of the answerers who choose the positive answer is not so much high, and there is no significant difference between the first survey and the second survey. The evacuation behavior to the Illapel Earthquake was also investigated and some results are shown in this paper. Moreover, we conducted the covariance structure analysis with data of the second survey to tried to reveal what factor make the residents start evacuating.
