In order to find clues to save as many lives as possible in the event of a natural disaster, this study investigated how the Big Five traits (conscientiousness, agreeableness, neuroticism, openness to experience, extroversion) and cognitive biases (myopia bias, forgetting bias, optimism bias, inertia bias, simplification bias, majority bias) affect natural disaster prevention awareness and natural disaster prevention behavior during normal times and natural disasters. Correlation analysis showed significant negative correlations between agreeableness and forgetfulness, conscientiousness and optimism, and openness and simplification. On the other hand, as a result of multiple regression analysis, conscientiousness was the only Big Five characteristic that affected natural disaster prevention awareness during normal times and natural disasters. In addition, it was clarified that forgetfulness, optimism, and simplification tended to negatively affect natural disaster preparedness awareness both during normal times and during natural disasters, and inertia only during natural disasters.
