Flooding is a hydrometeorological disaster that frequently affects urban areas due to poor drainage systems and unplanned spatial planning. This article examines public policies for flood mitigation in the Singgah Pai neighborhood, Rajabasa Village, Bandar Lampung City. A qualitative descriptive method was used through in-depth interviews with the head of neighborhood association (RT) 02 LK 1, Rajabasa Village. The research results indicate that the flooding problem in the area is caused by an inadequate culvert system and runoff from higher elevations. The community, along with neighborhood association (RT) leaders, have repeatedly proposed widening the drainage system through the sub-district-level Development Planning Forum (Musrenbang). The government's response is beginning to be evident, with plans to widen the drainage by 250 meters this year. This article offers comprehensive, policy-based solutions, ranging from improving drainage infrastructure, empowering communities, to strengthening spatial planning regulations. These findings emphasize the importance of synergy between the government and the community in implementing sustainable flood mitigation policies (Siregar & Ginting, 2023).
