It seems that the main source of these problems is the inadequacies in natural disaster training. The main starting point of the study is that acquisitions about natural disasters in all the curricula in Turkey do not contribute to the natural disaster literacy in terms of quality and quantity. For this reason, a natural disaster literacy course curriculum has been proposed for high schools. In the study, the basic philosophy and general objectives of the natural disaster literacy course curriculum have been defined. In the curriculum, the acquisitions that are convenient to the dimensions of natural disaster literacy (knowledge-attitude-behavior); skills and values related to those acquisitions and units have also been included. The natural disaster literacy course, which has been planned to be 2 course hours per week at the level of 9th grade, consists of 5 units and 49 acquisitions. It is recommended that the study to be examined and applied in the form of a sample curriculum. Thus, students are expected to be natural disaster literate. It is thought that the increase in the number of individuals who are natural disaster literate will decrease the material and immaterial damages caused by natural disasters. <br /> </p>}, number={1}, publisher={Ankara Üniversitesi}
