#5 - The Attitudes of Households for Disaster Risk Management in Fogera, Estie and Ebenat Woredas [Ethiopia] (Mr. Temesgen Alemu Tilahun)

Abstract: "Disaster risk management involves a complex interplay of knowledge, attitudes, and actions. This study investigates the attitudes of households towards disaster risk management in several administrative units in Ethiopia, utilizing cross-sectional quantitative methods and surveys conducted among 412 households. It found that a majority of households exhibit a fairly positive attitude towards disaster risk management, though a significant portion in disaster-prone rural areas hold negative views, influenced by factors such as lack of community involvement and ineffective risk management strategies. Statistical analysis highlighted that household attitudes are significantly affected by age, location, education level, and experience with indigenous risk management practices. The study suggests that enhancing community participation and improving the effectiveness of disaster management practices are crucial in these regions. Given the deep-seated perceptions among Ethiopian communities, especially in disaster-affected areas, concerted efforts are needed to transform attitudes towards more constructive engagement in disaster risk management."
