Increase in number of disaster prevention experts in various fields of our society has led to greater expectations for their activities as local disaster prevention leaders. It may be of interest as well as necessary to understand what motivates people to become a disaster prevention expert.

In addition, on the basis of the knowledge of social psychology, altruistic motivation and related awareness of both groups are also comparatively discussed.
