Abstract
Natural disasters have caused many deaths and disabilities in human communities. One way to mitigate the impact of the disasters is the community based disaster preparedness programs against such incidents. The aim of this study is to encourage people to provide disaster survival kits. This randomized controlled study has evaluated the effectiveness of an eight-week Precaution Adoption Process Model-based disaster preparedness education program in 221 personnel in Ahwaz Carbon factory. The results have showed that after intervention, the training group showed significant positive progress in stages and seventeen subjects of the intervention group provided disaster survival kits. Our survey showed that the perceived benefits and barriers could predict the adaption stage. These results have supported the educational program based on the precaution adoption process model encouraging participants to provide disaster survival kits.
