Understanding the culture of preparedness is essential to improve public policies and programs aimed to promote population preparedness to cope with natural hazards. The present study seeks to explore the influence of experience and sociodemographic variables in different levels of natural disaster preparedness among inhabitants of the Chilean coast. Three domains of preparedness were studied: household, community, and work. Participants were 1504 adults interviewed from representative samples of the coastal cities of Iquique and Concepción. Our main results suggest that direct prior experience and higher frequency of exposure to earthquakes and tsunamis generate a highest level of preparedness. In the same way, middle-aged adults (30–59 years), who live with a partner and those who have higher education and income level, declare having the highest levels of preparedness. On the other hand, our results denote that for each domain of preparedness, different sociodemographic characteristics influence the level of preparedness. Years living in the city and living with a partner represents the most decisive variable for preparedness at the household unit level. As for community preparedness, gender emerges as the most relevant variable. Educational level and income are variables with the greatest impact in workplace preparedness. These results demonstrate the importance of studying and implementing preparedness activities in other contexts such as community and work. Also, strategies should focus on less prepared groups that may be more vulnerable to the effects of natural disasters.

了解自然灾害备灾文化:探索经验和社会人口预测因素的影响

了解备灾文化对于改进旨在促进人口备灾以应对自然灾害的公共政策和计划至关重要。本研究旨在探索经验和社会人口统计学变量对智利海岸居民自然灾害备灾水平的影响。研究了准备的三个领域:家庭,社区和工作。参与者是来自沿海城市伊基克和康塞普西翁的代表性样本的1504名成年人。我们的主要结果表明,直接的先验经验和较高的地震和海啸暴发频率可以带来最高水平的准备。同样,与伴侣同住的中年成年人(30-59岁)以及受过高等教育和收入水平较高的成年人,声明准备水平最高。另一方面,我们的结果表明,对于准备的每个领域,不同的社会人口统计学特征都会影响准备的水平。在城市生活和与伴侣生活在一起的年数是家庭单位备灾的最决定性变量。至于社区准备,性别成为最相关的变量。受教育程度和收入是对工作场所准备产生最大影响的变量。这些结果表明,在社区和工作等其他背景下研究和实施备灾活动的重要性。此外,战略应集中于准备不足的群体,这些群体可能更容易受到自然灾害的影响。我们的结果表明,对于准备的每个领域,不同的社会人口统计学特征都会影响准备的水平。在城市生活和与伴侣生活在一起的年数是家庭单位备灾的最决定性变量。至于社区准备,性别成为最相关的变量。受教育程度和收入是对工作场所准备产生最大影响的变量。这些结果表明,在社区和工作等其他背景下研究和实施备灾活动的重要性。此外,战略应集中于准备不足的群体,这些群体可能更容易受到自然灾害的影响。我们的结果表明,对于准备的每个领域,不同的社会人口统计学特征都会影响准备的水平。在城市生活和与伴侣生活在一起的年数是家庭单位备灾的最决定性变量。至于社区准备,性别成为最相关的变量。受教育程度和收入是对工作场所准备产生最大影响的变量。这些结果表明,在社区和工作等其他背景下研究和实施备灾活动的重要性。此外,战略应集中于准备不足的群体,这些群体可能更容易受到自然灾害的影响。在城市生活和与伴侣生活在一起的年数是家庭单位备灾的最决定性变量。至于社区准备,性别成为最相关的变量。受教育程度和收入是对工作场所准备产生最大影响的变量。这些结果表明,在社区和工作等其他背景下研究和实施备灾活动的重要性。此外,战略应集中于准备不足的群体,这些群体可能更容易受到自然灾害的影响。在城市生活和与伴侣生活在一起的年数是家庭单位备灾的最决定性变量。至于社区准备,性别成为最相关的变量。受教育程度和收入是对工作场所准备产生最大影响的变量。这些结果表明,在社区和工作等其他背景下研究和实施备灾活动的重要性。此外,战略应集中于准备不足的群体,这些群体可能更容易受到自然灾害的影响。这些结果表明,在社区和工作等其他背景下研究和实施备灾活动的重要性。此外,战略应集中于准备不足的群体,这些群体可能更容易受到自然灾害的影响。这些结果表明,在社区和工作等其他背景下研究和实施备灾活动的重要性。此外,战略应集中于准备不足的群体,这些群体可能更容易受到自然灾害的影响。
