Abstract

 The evacuation behavior of residents in times of earthquake and tsunami is influenced by many factors, including knowledge in disaster prevention, participation in disaster prevention activities, and sensory experience of earthquake shaking. Using survey questionnaire to investigate the evacuation behavior of residents in Iquique during the 2014 Iquique Earthquakes in Chile, this study found that the sensory experience of earthquake shaking is the main factor that prompted residents to evacuate. However it was difficult for elderly persons to evacuate due to shortage of disaster risk. Moreover, the study also found that the location, where the residents live, is an important factor for evacuation. On the other hand, hazard map was found to have little influence on decision of residents to evacuate.
