Table 1. Participant responses and reliability (alpha-Cronbach) for a) Earthquake preparation scale, and b) Flood preparation scale.

a) Earthquake Preparation Scale Yes (%) No (%)
Workplace preparedness sub-scale (alpha = 0.86)
In your place of work, is there or do you have a plan regarding how to react in the event of an earthquake? (n = 177) 64.4 35.6
While you are working, do you know what the escape route is in the event of an earthquake? (n = 176) 72.7 27.3
Have there been drills for this earthquake plan in your workplace? (n = 175) 48.6 51.4
Household preparedness sub-scale (alpha = 0.85)
At home, do you and your family have an action plan in the event of an earthquake? (n = 474) 74.3 25.7
At home, have you identified any escape routes in the event of an earthquake? (n = 473) 76.0 23.0
b) Flood Preparation Scale Yes (%) No (%)
Workplace preparedness sub-scale (alpha = 0.89)
Thinking back on the flood of March 2015, was there or did you have an action plan for this event at your workplace? (n = 175) 24.6 75.4
Had there been drills for this plan at your workplace? (n = 173) 17.3 82.7
While you were working, did you know where the escape route was during the event of March 2015? (n = 174) 28.7 71.3
Household preparedness sub-scale (alpha = 0.92)
For the flood of March 2015, had you identified the escape routes at home in the event of a major flood? (n = 472) 37.3 62.7
For the flood of March 2015, did you and your family have an action plan at home? (n = 472) 32.4 67.6

The differences in sample sizes are due to missing values. Each question is on a dichotomous scale (0)No; (1)Yes.
