The disaster of 921 earthquake, Nari, Toraji & Morakot typhoon casualties and related health care problems in the affected areas. Although the government has implemented local response and education plans, there is a pitfall of lacking plans community-based disaster health care education plan. Therefore, it is critical to strengthen disaster health care knowledge and skill of community residents. The main purpose of this study was to investigate the status of community resident’s disaster health care knowledge and skills, develop and construct the disaster health care education program, and explore the effectiveness of the implementation of this disaster health care education program for community residents. The quasi-experiment study employed a single-group pre and posttest with, 207 purposively sampled participants community residents of keelung city to compare the progress of disaster health care knowledge and skills as well as the effectiveness of the disaster health care education program that is base on the PRECEDE-PROCEED model for program design and assessment framework development. The pretest results indicated the poor overall disaster health care knowledge and skill of community residents. The progress of education program implementation has increased significantly (t = 35.16, p <.001) with, the average improvement scores of 62.75%. The predictor of disaster health care knowledge progress was participants’ with the explanatory power of 3.1%. The progress of overall disaster health skill has increased significantly ( t=48.75 , p<.001 )with, the averages improvement scores of 822.86%.
