This research explores the phenomenon of community adaptation in a disaster prone area by working as an Indonesian Foreign Labor and the contribution of their remittances to reduce disaster risk.

Based on statistical analysis, it is found that the remittance use can be categorized into four classifications, i.e. consumption, physical, saving, and capital investment. Further analysis shows that the capital investment and saving can function as a long-term adaptation while physical allocation can contribute for flood risk mitigation at household level. The remittance potential could be enhanced if it is used collectively
