This research analyzes the synergy between the Environmental Office (DLH) and the Regional Disaster Management Agency (BPBD) in flood mitigation in Krian District, Sidoarjo, through Collaborative Governance. Krian faces annual flood risks due to land-use changes and high sedimentation. Methodologically, this study employs a qualitative descriptive approach with a case study design. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, observation, and documentation, then analyzed using the Miles, Huberman, and Saldana interactive model. The findings indicate that collaboration has successfully transformed inter-institutional relationships into a synergistic ecosystem. Trust-building and data transparency have minimized "sectoral egos," where DLH utilizes BPBD’s vulnerability mapping for drainage maintenance. Integrated field actions have achieved "small wins" by reducing inundation duration in public areas. However, systemic hurdles remain, including budgetary rigidity and jurisdictional ambiguity regarding rivers under central government authority. Different organizational paces also create response gaps. The study concludes that this collaboration must transition from ad-hoc agreements to a legalized framework. Recommendations include issuing a Regent Regulation for budget flexibility and creating an integrated real-time dashboard to synchronize preventive flood mitigation actions.
