Purpose: To investigate disaster safety education and the safety awareness of Korean high school students following the Sewol ferry incident.
Methods: A self-reported questionnaire was completed by 1022 high school students in Korea from September 7 to 26, 2015. The questionnaire comprised questions pertaining to the general characteristics of the subjects, disaster safety education, and safety awareness, which were measured on a four-point Likert.
Results: The majority of the students recognized the necessity of disaster safety education (3.12±0.61); however, most did not know where safety devices were located. After the Sewol ferry incident, awareness of disaster safety education was 2.11±0.64, and the necessity of education was relatively low. More than half the students (53.5%) responded that disaster safety education must be conducted in professional education facilities.
Conclusion: It is important to develop and implement regular disaster safety education for high school students in professional education facilities.
