Earthquakes are among the most destructive natural disasters, and the extent of damage often depends upon the level of public awareness and preparedness. Anthropological research helps in understanding how cultural beliefs, local knowledge, social organization, and previous experiences influence people's responses to earthquakes. A well-designed research synopsis enables the collection of reliable information for disaster risk reduction and community resilience. The proposed study aims to assess the awareness, perceptions, and preparedness of people regarding earthquakes in a selected community. The objectives of the study are to examine the level of knowledge about earthquake hazards, identify preparedness measures adopted by households, understand the influence of socio-cultural factors on disaster response, and suggest appropriate interventions for improving community preparedness. The study area may consist of a village or an urban neighborhood located in an earthquake-prone region. The target respondents would include household members, local leaders, teachers, health workers, disaster management officials, and elderly persons who possess traditional knowledge or have experienced previous earthquakes. A purposive and stratified sampling method may be adopted to ensure representation of different age groups, genders, occupations, and socio-economic categories. Anthropological fieldwork primarily depends on qualitative methods, although quantitative tools may also be employed for comprehensive analysis. The first tool is participant observation. The researcher spends time in the community, observes daily activities, emergency practices, community meetings, and interactions related to disaster preparedness. For
