contents <p>Earthquakes are among the most devastating and traumatic natural disasters. With the increasing elderly population, the risk of exposure to natural and technological disasters is also rising. Such disasters can pose serious problems for the elderly and are often considered a vulnerable group. However, the elderly can make significant contributions to disaster management with their life experiences and risk perceptions. Therefore, it is necessary for them to actively participate in disaster planning and emergency decision-making processes. Their life experiences and social connections play a critical role in coping with the effects of disasters. Therefore, their perspective should be utilized in disaster planning and emergency decision-making processes. Elderly adults can guide the community with their previous disaster experiences and wisdom, enhance resilience, and provide psychological support. This support can also inspire younger generations and strengthen the mental health of society. Therefore, considering the role and needs of the elderly in the post-trauma period, appropriate measures should be taken by policymakers and other sectors of society.</p>
