| Zusammenfassung |
| The region of the Sporades islands located in central Greece is at the mercy
of many natural phenomena, such as earthquakes due to the marine volcano
Psathoura and the rift of Anatolia, forest fires, floods, landslides,
storms, hail, snowfall and frost. The present work aims at studying the
perceptions and attitudes of the residents regarding how they face and
manage natural disasters. A positive public response during a hazard crisis
depends not only upon the availability and good management of a civil
defense plan but also on the knowledge and perception of the possible
hazards by the local population. It is important for the stakeholders to
know what the citizens expect so that the necessary structures can be
developed in the phase of preparation and organization. The residents were
asked their opinion about what they think should be done by the stakeholders
after a catastrophic natural disaster, particularly about the immediate response
of stakeholders and their involvement and responsibilities at different,
subsequent intervals of time following the disaster. The residents were also
asked about the most common disasters that happen in their region and about
the preparation activities of the stakeholders. |
