Abstract

Indonesia is prone to disasters, including earthquakes. East Luwu Regency in South Sulawesi is highly vulnerable due to its proximity to active faults. This study analyzes the local government's capabilities in disaster risk reduction (DRR) through literature review and analysis of KRB and RPB documents. The results show a commitment and systematic policies reflected in planning documents and cross-sectoral involvement. However, knowledge internalization is not yet uniform and human resource capacity needs to be strengthened. Technical operational capacity is adequate through training, simulations, and logistics provision. Capability is at level 3 (developing stage), with effectiveness not yet optimal, thus requiring improved coordination, data updates, and enhanced community preparedness
