The objective of this study were to 1) study the degree of motivation for participation in disaster prevention 2) study the degree of motivation for engaging in disaster prevention and 3) study the correlation between motivation and community participation in disaster prevention and relief within the fire and rescue sector of Bang Khun Non District. These goals will help to develop suggestions for improving community involvement. The study used quantitative research methodologies and gathered data from a sample of 120 individuals residing in the Bang Khun Non region. The data were examined using descriptive statistics, including the number of observations, the mean, and the standard deviation. The connection between variables was assessed using inferential statistics, especially the Pearson correlation coefficient.

The findings revealed a high degree of enthusiasm for engagement among individuals in the community, with a mean of 4.09 and a standard deviation of 0.497. Similarly, the degree of participation in disaster prevention and relief was likewise substantial (mean 4.10, standard deviation 0.636), with collaborative decision-making having the highest average. The correlation between motivation and community engagement in disaster prevention and relief was shown to be moderate to high, with a statistically significant level of 0.05. Executives and relevant agencies should take note of and analyze the results in order to enhance disaster prevention and relief efforts, as well as encourage public engagement in different activities. This will enhance the standard of living, foster self-sufficiency, and provide assistance to neighboring communities.
