“…Obviously, greater levels of awareness and preparedness before the occurrence of a natural hazard will result in significant reductions of human and financial losses. For instance, the intention to adopt protective actions such as obtaining earthquake insurance or making one's residence's furniture safer against an earthquake is strongly related to risk awareness (Haraoka, Hayasaka, Murata, Yamaoka, & Ojima, 2013; Tekeli‐Yeşil et al., 2011; Tekeli‐Yesil, Dedeoğlu, Tanner, Braun‐Fahrlaender, & Obrist, 2010; Tekeli‐Yesli, Dedeoğlu, Braun, & Tanner, 2010).

Knowledge about how hazard‐threatened individuals perceive risks and what influences their intentions to prepare is crucial for effective disaster management. We investigated (a) whether residents of objectively higher‐risk earthquake areas within a city perceive greater risk, have stronger intentions to prepare, and report more preparation than residents of objectively lower‐risk areas, (b) 10 antecedent factors as predictors of the intention to prepare for an earthquake, and (c) whether risk perception mediates the relations between nine antecedent factors and the intention to prepare. Notably, residents of high‐risk areas did not express stronger intentions to prepare or report more preparations than did residents of low‐risk areas, despite perceiving significantly greater risk. Risk perception mediated the relation between antecedent fatalism and the intention to prepare. Among the policy implications is a clear need for greater education of residents in high‐risk earthquake areas.

A large number of hospitals and health facilities in India are at a high risk of being damaged by disasters. Continuity of healthcare during disasters is critical. This research surveys the hospitals in National Capital Territory of Delhi having more than 100 beds with an effort to understand and identify the determinants of business continuity management (BCM) in hospitals. The results of this study show that the six identified determinants; 1) funds for business continuity planning (BCP); 2) skills for BCM; 3) risk awareness; 4) contingency plan; 5) protocols for BCM; 6) government schemes; are the key determinants for BCM in hospitals. Besides these, another two determinants have emerged through a qualitative survey -the mandate by government for BCP in hospitals, and protocols for business impact analysis, that need to be validated by further research.
