Abstract:
The total area of Padang city is 7.613 Ha and 19.41% of Padang City area is
classified as the red zone area of Tsunami. This study was purposed to analyze
society preparedness in the red zone in facing the earthquake and tsunami disaster
in Padang City 2019.This study was conducted by using cross sectional design in the
red zone area of Padang from March to August 2019. There were 106 respondent and
were selected by accidental sampling. Data were collected by interviewing the
respondent by using questionnaire. Data were analyzed using univariate and
bivariate analysis with Chi-Square test with level of convidence 95%. Logistic
regression was used for multivariate analysis. The univariate results show more than
half (56.6%) of citizen are not ready to against the earthquake and tsunami, bivariate
analysis shows that there were relation between the variable of knowledge (p=0.017),
education level (p=0045), action (p=0.000), and training (p=0.000) with preparedness.
Meanwhile the variable of attitude (p=0,154), gender (p=0,926), experience (p=0,872)
have no relationship with preparedness. Based on multivariate analysis, it was found
that the dominant factor of preparedness is the training (p=0,001). Based on research
that has been done, training is the dominant factor against the preparedness of
society in facing the earthquake and tsunami, therefore it is expected to hold
socialization programs and training that can be done periodically either in small or
large scale. Thank you for all of respondent who had involved and had an active role
in this study, hopefully it will give positive energy for us to increase society
preparedness to face up earthquake and tsunami in Padang City.
