Social Networking Services (SNSs) attract much attention as media for collecting disaster information. Many studies have been conducted regarding the effect of SNSs on people's behavior during disasters. However, there are few studies that deal with the relationship between daily SNS usage and people's behavior during disasters. Based on a questionnaire survey in Bangkok, the relationship was analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling and the Theory of Planned Behavior. It was found that attitudes toward the collection of information in daily life had some influence on the intention to collect disaster information.
