This research approach is a quantitative approach using the test of influence. The results found that there is positive influence between disaster risk perception on disaster preparedness on families in the coastal Sumur district (F = 28.23; p = 0.000 <0.05). The effect of Disaster Risk Perception on Disaster Preparedness is 14.1%.
