Abstrak
Padang City is one of the areas in West Sumatra that has a high potential for disaster-prone and most of its areas are located on the coast so that it is very vulnerable to the threat of disasters, especially earthquakes and tsunamis. With the high potential for earthquake and tsunami disasters in Padang City, it is necessary to study the capacity of the Padang City Government in efforts to reduce disaster risk. The purpose of this study is to identify the capacity of the Padang City Government in reducing the risk of earthquake and tsunami disasters. The method used in carrying out this research is to combine qualitative and quantitative methods. This research was conducted by conducting direct interviews with resource persons from BPBD, Social Service, PUPR, DPR KPP, and Padang City Bappeda, while for drawing conclusions quantitatively using the Regional Resilience Index (IKD) excel assessment tool published by BNPB. From the results of data processing, it is found that the regional capacity of the Padang City Government in reducing the risk of earthquake and tsunami disasters is included in the 'moderate' regional capacity category with the Padang City Regional Capacity Index '0.66'. Looking forward to the future it is hoped that the Padang City Government can increase and strengthen its capacity related to the implementation of earthquake and tsunami disaster risk reduction in terms of Regulation, Apparatus, Financing and Organizational Supporting Capacity.
