Floods occur almost every rainy season. The flood came without knowing the place and who
inhabited the place. Flood disasters are inevitable, but can be minimized by means of
flooding. One of the important factors in flood disaster management is community
preparedness about the risk of flood disasters. This research aims to find out the level of
community preparedness in the face of flood disasters in Tempuran village of Sooko District
of Mojokerto Regency.This research is a quantitative study using descriptive research design.
The population in this study was 472 respondents, sampling techniques using NonProbability sampling. The number of samples in this study was 48 people. The research
instrument uses a preparedness questionnaire. The study was conducted in November 2020-
August 2021. The study found that almost half of respondents were very ready as many as 20
respondents (41.7%), ready as many as 9 respondents (18.8%), quite ready 14 respondents
(29.2%), less prepared as many as 4 respondents (8.3%), and not ready as many as 1 responde

preparedness concerns must be done by the community to be ready and alert in anticipating
flood disasters, especially for those who live in areas that have vulnerability and frequency to
flood disasters. One of the efforts is to increase knowledge and is expected to be able to
anticipate the occurrence of flood disasters such as preparing emergency equipment that will
be brought in when a flood disaster occurs.
