| description | The eruption of Mount Galunggung in 1822 resulted in the deaths of 4,011 people and the destruction of 114 villages. A subsequent eruption in 1894 caused further devastation, destroying 50 villages. In 1982, Mount Galunggung erupted for a period of nine months. Currently, the area surrounding Mount Galunggung is a center for coffee and palm plantations with a dense population. This study aims to identify the disaster mitigation implemented by local communities in response volcanic disaster. The research was conducted between August and November 2023 and employed an ethnographic approach to assess community preparedness and disaster mitigation strategies. The respondents’ knowledge level regarding the Mount Galunggung eruption disaster falls within the moderate category, with an average score of 2.86. In contrast, the respondents’ preparedness for volcanic disasters is classified as low, with an average score of 1.96. Disaster mitigation efforts based on local wisdom in Mount Galunggung include: 1) the use of the kentongan (a traditional wooden alarm instrument), 2) local knowledge of natural disaster signs, and 43) mystical beliefs associated with Mount Galunggung. The implication of this study is the necessity for multi-stakeholder collaboration in building community knowledge and preparedness in facing volcanic disasters around Mount Galunggung. |
