A synopsis on people’s awareness and preparedness for earthquakes aims to understand the level of knowledge, perception, attitudes, and practices adopted by communities to reduce earthquake-related risks. In applied anthropology, such studies help identify cultural beliefs, local knowledge, social organization, and behavioural patterns that influence disaster preparedness. The findings can support disaster management authorities, policymakers, and local communities in developing culturally appropriate awareness programmes and preparedness strategies.
