A recent survey in Japan, which had been on "full alert" after the Kobe earthquake, revealed that 34 % of the public had made no special preparations whatsoever for a major earthquake--a full ten percentage points more than in a survey two years ago.
曾經在阪神大地震後「全員戒備」的日本，最近進行了一項民調，發現百分之三十四的民眾並未針對大規模地震預做任何特別準備，比兩年前的調查足足高出百分之十；沒有做準備的人，多是以「自己不會那麼倒楣吧」作為藉口。
