Earthquake is not new in our country but the frequency of this hazard in recent time is a matter of worry especially for Dhaka where multi-storied buildings are going up and up. Old part of Dhaka where buildings are unplanned and very congested is highly vulnerable to earthquake. We can’t predict nor can alert for this disaster, so we have to take preventive measure. Awareness building and increasing knowledge on earthquake and act accordingly is the key to ensure safety and security in earthquake. This study attempts to find out the awareness and preparedness level of inhabitants of old Dhaka. Conduct a study on this issue and data collection is not very easy task and there are very little study conducted so far.
