Abstract

This paper describes the results of analyzing the policy design of the tsunami contingency plan in West Sumatra Province based on the concept of public policy and disaster management. The tsunami contingency plan has explained the details of the division of tasks between stakeholders and what facilities are owned and needed in the event of a tsunami. However, after ten years, the situation in West Sumatra has changed a lot, especially the new crowds that have formed in many coastal areas. The number of new tourism icons being built along the coast of West Sumatra has created busy spots that are always crowded with tourists, especially on weekends. This is one of the reasons that the existing West Sumatra province tsunami contingency plan needs to be revised. The method used in this research is descriptive qualitative. In general, the findings in official documents explain that the formulation of the policy design for the tsunami contingency plan in West Sumatra Province has been carried out based on relevant regulations, both West Sumatra BPBD as the leading sector and other institutions from the West Sumatra Provincial Government, vertical agencies, groups community and academics, and disaster activists. Aspects of agenda-setting and scenario preparation have been carried out if seen in the policy document. However, more in-depth research is needed regarding the policy design process for tsunami contingency planning documents in West Sumatra Province, especially in the aspect of actor involvement and factual analysis of resource needs gaps.
