The purpose of this study was to find out and analyze the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats encountered by the Indonesian Red Cross (PMI) in carrying out disaster risk reduction in the Padang City. The method used in the study is descriptive qualitative method with data collection techniques through interviews and documentation studies. Data were analyzed using SWOT analysis. This research shows that the strengths are, PMI has reliable personnel and specialists in their fields, PMI has a stable procedure and system, PMI has its own law, namely Law No. 1 of 2018 and Government Regulation No. 7 of 2019. The disadvantage is that PMI is a voluntary organization so that in carrying out its duties PMI cannot be too forced and not too binding, PMI does not have a budget for risk reduction so it is difficult to carry out operational activities, infrastructure and equipment in PMI are incomplete, PMI personnel quantity still less especially the stanbey at headquarters. The opportunity that PMI has in carrying out disaster risk reduction, namely PMI, has gained trust from the government, the PMI name is quite good in the government and society. The threat is that community participation is still lacking when conducting socialization activities on disaster risk reduction, PMI is used as political land by certain elements of the external PMI, causing internal conflicts and influencing PMI's performance. The efforts made by PMI in conducting disaster risk reduction in the Padang City by conducting a new volunteer open recruitment if the volunteers have begun to be less active, provide training in advance to the team that will take to the field to provide socialization so that it is more prepared and the information delivered is more dense and quality, maintaining communication with the same stakeholders engaged in disaster management, conducting regular and periodic meetings to maintain communication and facilitating coordination among fellow stakeholders, calling on the public to always participate in socialization activities or simulations held by PMI and other stakeholders.

Disasters cause deaths and serious disruptions in society, which call for the global community to take drastic steps to address and reduce the impacts of these inevitable calamities. That is why the government, through the Philippine Disaster Risk Reduction Management Act of 2010, requires the integration of disaster risk reduction in the school curriculum to strengthen the awareness and practice of personnel and students on calamity preparedness. Hence, the paper assessed the level of awareness and extent of practice on disaster preparedness before, during, and after the disaster of public junior high school students in Antique. Likewise, it sought to establish a difference in awareness and practice on disaster preparedness relative to sex, residence, and grade level and the relationship between awareness and practice.

The Government

The government has a function to protect its people, including managing the disaster. The function of government in natural disaster management is a function that is expected to be carried out with full commitment. Disaster management is an activity carried out comprehensively and there is a need for active stakeholder involvement. Pangandaran Regency is a disaster-prone area. This article aims to describe the mitigation launched by the Pangandaran Regency government to reduce disaster risk using a Qualitative approach and observation, interview and literature study. Pangandaran Regency has been stretched to get out of the tsunami disaster that had occurred. Even mitigation efforts have been carried out with the involvement of various stakeholders in Pangandaran Regency. With mitigation, disaster risk reduction can be done. Therefore the government should make efforts to overcome disaster risk through the Mitigation Program by the Regional Disaster Management Agency (BPBD). The disaster mitigation program consists of two types namely Mitigation with a Structural approach and namely mitigation by focusing on physical development, such as the construction of temporary evacuation sites or the construction of an early warning system (EAS). Then the other form is Non-Structural mitigation which is mitigation carried out in the form of non-physical development, such as disaster education to school children and also to the community through activities carried out by mothers. Disaster training is given to private parties to understand disaster in Pangandaran.Keywords: Disaster, Mitigation, Risk Reduction, Management Disaster, Pangandaran
