Preparedness refers to a series of activities carried out before a

disaster occurs to anticipate disasters and reduce risks in disaster-prone areas

through appropriate and efficient steps. This study contains an overview of

household preparedness for facing the potential for an earthquake on the

Lembang Fault in Ciburial Village. This study aims to obtain an empirical

description of: 1) knowledge and attitudes; 2) plans for emergencies; 3) disaster

warning systems; and 4) resource mobilization capacity. The method used is

head of household who lives in RW 10 Ciburial Village. The sampling technique

questionnaires; and 2) documentation studies. The measuring instrument used

is a Guttman scale. Validity test using advance validity and reliability test using

household preparedness were in the unprepared category. The results are seen

from the parameters of knowledge and attitudes, which are in the almost ready

category, and the other three parameters, namely the emergency planning

parameters, disaster warning system parameters, and resource mobilization

parameters, are in the not ready category. Based on the results of this research
