The aim of this study, which was carried out with a methodological design; To develop valid and reliable measurement tools that evaluate individuals' earthquake preparedness levels on the basis of knowledge and behavior. The data of the research were collected electronically (whatsapp, instagram and e-mail) between January 1, 2022 and April 15, 2022. IBM SPSS 22 and AMOS 24 programs were used to evaluate the data. To determine the validity of the scales; content validity, criterion validity and construct validity (explanatory and confirmatory) were performed. The CVI value for content validity was found to be between 0.80-0.88. For criterion validity; internal criterion validity (lower-upper group comparison in both scales, t= 25,782-134.301, p=0.000 and it has acceptable values. In order to make the construct validity, “Kaiser Meyer Olkin” and “Barlett tests” (KMO: 0.897-0.913, Barlett's test x²:2634.323-2860.474, p=0.000), eigenvalue analysis (8.154-7.281), explanation of total variance (38.827-40.449%) were examined.In confirmatory factor analysis, most of the fit indices of all scales were found to be in the acceptable fit range. In order to determine the reliability of the scales, internal consistency reliability coefficients (Kuder-Richardson 20 (KR-20) reliability coefficient: 0.910-0.918), halving method (r: 0.870-0.888), item analysis, item-total score correlations (0.466) -0.686), Scoring Consistency (Intraclass correlation: 0.910-0.918), Hotelling's T2 test (F= 10.068-22.559, p=0.000), standard error were studied.As a result of the analysis, individuals' preparedness level before and during the earthquake was flat. It has been found that the scales that evaluate the activities in terms of knowledge and behavior are statistically valid and reliable.
