<![CDATA[The typical geological structure of West Sumatra causes a high risk of earthquakes. Therefore, the ability of disaster context science literacy (LSKB) needs to be developed in order to students can apply science to solve problems related earthquakes. The research aims to describe the characteristics of the early science literacy abilities of science education students about earthquake markers. The knowledge aspect of scientific literacy is focused on the procedural and epistemic domains. Determination of research subjects by purposive sampling involving 70 students. Data collection was carried out with thorough tests and surveys using the LSKB Test and the Disaster Preparedness Questionnaire. Data were analyzed quantitatively-descriptive. The results showed that: 1) The level of mastery in the domain of procedural and epistemic knowledge was 38.18 and 19.12, included in the very low category, 2) In procedural knowledge, students already had sufficient knowledge in determining variables but had problems making graphs and graphical interpretations, 3) In epistemic knowledge, analysis and inference most mastered by students, 4) the characteristics of procedural and epistemic knowledge are content novelty, contextuality, dimensions of inquiry, scientific exploration and data visualization. It can be concluded that the level of mastery of procedural and epistemic domain knowledge in science students is still moderate, and it requires training in the three domains of scientific literacy]]>
