This study investigates household electrical security as well as gas security, escape from calamities, and public’s refuge knowledge survey; the aging (hard to mobilize) and the children (playing fire) are also enlisted. The entire survey of household members can enhance the measures of refuge and anti-fire for the disadvantaged minority.

Reducing the tragedies of the minority caused by the fire, instructing and improving the household fire security circumstance with safe living spaces are required urgently.

This shows public’s positive attitude to daily prevention. On “Gas Security”, attention to gas pipe’s chap, and periodic inspection of gas steel cylinder, is 96.1% and 95.3%, respectively. This shows public’s high concern to the cognition of gas issues and prevention of carbon monoxide poisoning. On “Refuge Safety”, the most cared are the accumulation of miscellaneous objects on exits and stairs for 90.6%, and the comprehension of refuge for 89.8%; clear moving path, and existence of iron-grille and safety exit, is 86.7% and 85.9%, respectively. All the items enlisted are cared by public, which shows this perspective’s popularity.
