Abstract

Indonesia is a country that is prone to disasters, both natural and non-natural. A disaster is an event that threatens and disrupts people's lives and livelihoods. Floods are overflowing water that rivers cannot accommodate. Floods are also a disaster because they disrupt community activities. Bagan Deli sub-district, which is located in Belawan, has a relatively high risk of flood disasters. Therefore, efforts need to be made to determine community actions before, immediately and after the flood disaster. This is related to flood disaster preparedness in Bagan Deli sub-district, therefore it is necessary to know the community's actions or community preparedness for flood disasters so that later it can be assessed that Bagan Deli sub-district is ready for flood disasters.
