The aim of this study is to discover how men's first reflex behaviors during earthquakes and how their coping strategies were shaped after earthquakes in Türkiye. Phenomenological design, one of the qualitative research methods, was used in the research. The data of the research were collected through a semi-structured interview form between 25.04.2023 and 15.05.2023.

In disasters, men take more risks due to their cultural and masculine characteristics. Social roles cause men to take on more duties during disasters. In terms of disaster risk reduction objectives and actions, the findings obtained within the framework of the difficulties encountered by men during the earthquake, coping strategies, and the impact of gender roles can be evaluated.
