Tsunami Preparedness Analysis for the Community of Legundi Island-Lampung

Abstract

The eruption of Mount Anak Krakatau caused massive amounts of material avalanches, which caused a tsunami in late 2018. Based on the author's observational notes, in small Island Legundi that located in Sunda Strait waters, there were many houses, public infrastructure, and government offices that were severely damaged. In this paper, the tsunami preparedness survey was carried out through a questionnaire survey and a personal interview with victims of the 2018 Sunda Strait Tsunami. The questionnaire obtained a variety of necessary information to find out the preparedness of the Legundi Island community to face tsunami, including the demographics of victims, tsunami awareness, and evacuation behaviour. This research concludes that the coastal-community that affected tsunami in Legundi was not prepared well, both disaster and evacuation knowledge.
