台灣地區由於地理與地形地質之故，每年均會遭受颱風與地震等天然災害及複合災害的侵襲，造成重大傷亡及財產損失。因此，政府鑒於災害防救工作除積極要求公部門機關的努力推動外，更需要社區民眾的直接參與，現階段我國依法實際推動執行社區災害防救層級為鄉鎮市公所；惟國內一般鄉鎮市公所上至首長、下至業務主管或承辦人員對於災害防救法規的不熟稔，以及對災害的認識不足或對災害防救工作的不重視，致使社區災害防救工作的推動重重困難 。 本研究選定桃園縣2個參加內政部災害防救示範社區及桃園縣防災社區倍增計畫之34個社區，合計36處為對象，調查分析所屬鄉鎮市公所首長、業務承辦人員、消防單位、社區民眾對於社區災害防救推動過程之意見與成效。 研究結果顯示：桃園縣13鄉鎮市防災業務主管及承辦人辦理防災業務時間在一年以下者佔了90.5％，擔任災害防救人員流動性大、無法久任、對災害防救專業能力培養較困難，執行災害防救工作成效有限。而就訓練內容而言，調查受訪者認為以一年訓練一次，每次3-4小時為最適當。過半數的民眾認為防災社區教育訓練的推動應由公所主導，要求社區配合推動的方式較適合。 Taiwan frequently suffers natural disasters, such as typhoon, and earthquake, that cause heavy casualty and property damage.
