It is not difficult for residents, for the most cases, to know the knowledge of disasterprevention, while it is quite difficult for them to take appropriate evacuation behavior.For example, it is easy to know why flooded underpasses should not be gone through bycars. It is just because cars would be submerged and got stuck on the way. However,people sometimes fail to apply such knowledge to take an appropriate action, due tothe so-called knowledge-to-action gap. In the present study, a preliminary investiga-tion and two experiments were conducted. The purpose of the investigation is to clarifythe kinds of unsafe evacuation behavior with reference to newspaper articles on flooddisaster over the past 15 years. The two experiments are to examine if the knowledge-to-action gap can be confirmed by means of paper-and-pencil tests consisting of knowledgeand intention tasks. Preliminary investigation revealed ten kinds of unsafe evacuationbehaviors in flood disaster. Experiments 1 and 2 indicated that participants take unsafeevacuation behaviors even though they have appropriate knowledge. In addition, theexperiment 2 indicated that they perceived danger in unsafe evacuation behaviors andflood disaster situation.These results demonstrate an aspect of unsafe evacuation be-havior, and the importance of disaster prevention education, which has to be carefullydesigned to bridge the gap between knowledge and action for disaster prevention.
