Flash floods are among the most frequent natural disasters affecting rural communities in Indonesia, particularly in Aceh Tamiang Regency. Beyond causing physical damage, these disasters significantly disrupt local economic activities and reduce household income. This study aims to analyze community economic recovery strategies and resilience following the flash flood disaster in Lubuk Sidup Village, Sekerak District. This qualitative research employed observation, interviews, and documentation techniques involving village officials, community leaders, farmers, traders, and affected residents. The findings reveal that economic recovery was achieved through collaboration between the government, local communities, and social institutions. The primary recovery strategies included restoring agricultural activities, diversifying livelihoods, providing business capital assistance, strengthening mutual cooperation, and improving community disaster preparedness. Community resilience was demonstrated through adaptive capacities, social solidarity, and institutional support that enabled residents to restore their livelihoods gradually. The study concludes that community resilience is influenced not only by economic resources but also by social capital, participatory governance, and local wisdom in disaster management.
