This study aims to clarify how Japanese people understand lessons learned from the Great East Japan Earthquake and how understanding the lessons influence their disaster preparedness. We conducted a questionnaire survey of Tohoku University MOOC participants. The results are summarized as follows. 1) “Don't put all your faith in hazard maps” is the best well-known lesson. Respondents understand lessons regarding tsunami hazard itself and evacuation shelter less than regarding tsunami evacuation. 2) In the group of those who have not experienced any disasters, those who have visited affected areas by the Great East Japan Earthquake understand more lessons learned than those who have not yet, and understanding the lessons learned is a significant predictor of disaster preparedness.
