DISASTER MANAGEMENT Japan is a disaster-prone country. Japan as a country with a lot of earthquake intensity. Frequent large earthquakes are often accompanied by tsunamis. Japanese preparation in the face of natural disasters that often occur makes Japan carry out various strategies. For example, namely “shintaishin kijun” which is a building design that is resistant to even large-scale earthquakes and does not casualties. The governments of Japan also provide manual books for mitigation when disasters occur and conduct simulations. The strategy carried out by Japan is a disaster management step in a country so that it can reduce the number of casualties in the event of a disaster again. Same as Japan, Indonesia is disaster-prone country too. Recently, Indonesia has been affected by disasters such as the Lombok’s earthquake, Palu’s earthquake, and Banten’s tsunami. It is expected that Indonesia has the same disaster management as Japan and even has an advanced strategy in disaster management. In disaster management an institution must be formed that can manage an emergency and disaster that may occur systematically and coordinated through training, this must be planned. Disaster management plan is disaster mitigation to carried out in order to reduce disaster risk as a form of preventive action to prepare the community or community to be prepared in the face of disasters. Research conducted by geologists and geophysicists in natural disasters may help provide information about the quality and quantity of natural evolution that occur. Sometimes, research can estimate patterns of natural disasters and it can further advanced disaster management. In disaster management, building planning for earthquake-resistant buildings is of the most importance, due to casualties caused by rubble debris. Integration from the field of geology and civil engineering greatly contributes to making Indonesia is a country ready to face disasters and great disaster management.
