In response to Law Number 24 of 2007 concerning Disaster Management, the City of Padang has issued policies, including Regional Regulation Number 3 of 2008 concerning Disaster Management. However, after several years of the policy being enacted, the current condition of the city of Padang is considered not yet ready to face the threat of these dangers. Therefore, the problem is how to implement earthquake disaster preparedness policies in the city of Padang. The research was aimed at describing disaster management policies in the city of Padang.
