Purpose: This purpose of this study was to develop a disaster and safety practice measurement tool for elderly people in rural areas. Methods: The tool for this study was developed and validated according to DeVellis scale development process. The construct validity of the instrument was analyzed by major analysis of Varimax rotation, and the internal inertia was verified by Cronbach s ⍺. Results: The final scale was a 4-point scale, consisting of 23 items in 7 domains. The total explanation was 54.1% and the Cronbach s ⍺ was .80. Conclusion: The results of this study should be useful to assess elders perception of the importance of safety management for elders.
