This research is motivated by the high vulnerability to disasters, particularly flash floods (galodo), in West Sumatra, which is geographically prone to such events. The study seeks to evaluate and ascertain the state of infrastructure subsequent to the flash flood (galodo) disaster in Nagari Lima Kaum, Lima Kaum District, Tanah Datar Regency in May 2024. This quantitative research involves the population of areas affected by the flash flood (galodo), with the sample taken from four villages within the study area: Jorong Dusun Tuo, Balai Labuah Atas, Balai Labuah Bawah, and Piliang. Out of 797 households, 200 samples were selected using proportional random sampling. Primary data were collected through questionnaires and observations, while secondary data were obtained from the Wali Nagari Lima Kaum and the Disaster Management Agency of Tanah Datar Regency. Data analysis used the Likert scale to measure the level of damage. The findings indicated that the extent of infrastructure damage was classified as high, with a percentage of 80.56%. This damage primarily impacted residential structures and public amenities, including bridges and places of worship, whereas educational and healthcare facilities sustained comparatively minor damage.
