Abstract:Tsunami is one of the natural disasters that has a very large destructive power, both to humans, the environment, and infrastructure. Indonesia as a country located on the Pacific Ring of Fire is very vulnerable to tsunamis due to high seismic activity in this region. This study aims to provide an in-depth understanding of the definition, causes, impacts, and steps for mitigating and overcoming tsunami disasters. In addition, this study also highlights the importance of community preparedness, the role of early warning systems, and post-disaster trauma healing efforts. The writing method is carried out through literature studies and descriptive analysis of disaster conditions in Indonesia. The results of the study show that there are still many challenges in reducing the risk of tsunamis, especially the low level of disaster education and supporting infrastructure. Therefore, it is necessary to increase awareness, education, and collaboration between the government, related institutions, and the community in efforts to prevent and overcome tsunami disasters as a whole.
