Earthquake Survival Knowledge Test Introduction

I. Test Overview

This earthquake survival knowledge test contains 50 questions covering the response knowledge for every stage of an earthquake: before it strikes, while it is happening and afterwards. By examining how a person takes shelter, and rescues themselves and others, across different environments (at home, outdoors, in public places) and different situations, it assesses their level of earthquake safety literacy. The content is built on the science and practical experience of earthquake emergency rescue, and aims to raise public awareness of earthquake preparedness and disaster reduction together with real response ability.

II. Core Assessment Dimensions

Early Warning Response: assesses correct understanding of earthquake early warning information and fast reaction to it (Questions 1, 40)
Choice of Shelter by Environment: examines judgement of safe positions in different places, such as inside buildings, outdoors and in vehicles (Questions 2, 3, 5, 7, 8, 17, 20, 27, 31, 32, 35)
Emergency Handling Skills: tests correct handling of hazard sources such as gas, power and chemicals (Questions 4, 6, 16, 24, 38)
Self-Rescue and Mutual Aid: assesses survival techniques when trapped under debris and the correct way to help others (Questions 10, 11, 28, 45)
Secondary Disaster Prevention: examines awareness of, and response to, secondary disasters such as tsunamis, landslides and fire (Questions 13, 21, 24, 33)
Emergency Preparedness Awareness: tests knowledge of putting together a household emergency kit and drawing up a plan (Questions 12, 14, 26, 41, 43, 47)
Post-Disaster Survival Management: assesses the scientific response after the event in drinking water, food, hygiene and psychological terms (Questions 18, 19, 22, 25, 33, 34, 42, 44, 46, 48, 49)

Helping individuals find the weak points in their own earthquake response knowledge
Systematically reviewing scientific shelter methods for different situations until the right response becomes reflex
Encouraging families and communities to draw up effective earthquake plans
Raising earthquake awareness and emergency literacy across society as a whole
Filling the gap left by traditional disaster education, which lacks a practical application stage
