Özet
This study investigated the extent of teachers' disaster preparedness beliefs regarding perceived susceptibility, perceived severity, perceived benefits, perceived barriers, cues to action, and self -efficacy and how their beliefs change concerning their demographic characteristics. The sample included 19,723 respondents who participated in the School-Based Disaster Education-Teacher Training Program of the Turkish Ministry of National Education. The results showed that teach-ers' preparatory beliefs, especially those associated with their perceived benefits, susceptibility, barriers, and self-efficacy, were high, whereas their beliefs were found as moderate and low lev-els in cues to action and perceived severity dimensions. Age, disaster education experience, and gender were found to be significant variables related to teachers' disaster preparation beliefs. However, respondents' residential areas do not show different beliefs since all regions of Turkiye are prone to short lead-time disasters. These findings can guide policymaking and interventions to promote national disaster preparedness and develop a more effective and tailor-made teacher training program.
