were positively associated with community resilience in lower resilience quantiles (Q10, Q25). Age was negatively associated with community resilience in a low quantile (Q25). The results of the linear model failed to reveal the association between the preparedness measure and community resilience, and demonstrated only the association with age and having children in the household. Conclusion: Encouragement to take actions to increase preparedness, could also help raise resilience in an earthquake scenario. Efforts to enhance community resilience should focus on specific population groups such as childless households (often the elderly).
