Abstract

The objective of the study is to analyze the awareness and preparedness level in Indonesia and Japan with regard to the natural disasters based on a questionnaire survey. The respondents of the questionnaire survey consist of 123 students of Indonesia, 158 students of Japan. The survey results suggest that Indonesian students have a higher level of disaster preparedness but they underestimate the possibility of disaster, and Japanese students feel strong possibility of disaster happens but they have low capability to cope with disasters.
