Individuals with disaster experience had higher disaster literacy (Reduction, Preparedness, Response, and Recovery) and disaster preparedness scores compared to those without disaster experience (p< 0.05). However, lower education levels, decreased income, and increased average age were associated with reduced disaster literacy and disaster preparedness levels. This study is expected to make significant contributions to understanding the levels of disaster literacy and disaster preparedness in Turkey, a country prone to earthquakes and recently affected by one of the deadliest disasters, and to identify the factors influencing these levels and the relationship between disaster literacy and … |
