This study adopted an extended theory of plan-ned behavior to understand how risk perception affected disaster preparedness behavior.An intercept survey(N=286)was conducted at a typhoon-prone district of Hong Kong,China in 2019,then the data were analyzed using structural equation modeling.The results indicated that risk perception and intention of preparedness were predictors of disaster preparedness behavior.Risk perception signifi-cantly affected intention of preparedness and the effect was partially mediated by subjective norm.Risk perception also significantly affected attitude and perceived behavioral control,but attitude and perceived behavioral control were not significantly correlated with intention of preparedness.Not only may this study supplement the existing literature of disaster preparedness toward typhoons,but also it pro-vides insights for the planning and management of natural hazards and disaster risk reduction in Hong Kong.
