The reseach results show that the development of settlements in regions not designated for settlements, especially in the hazard zone high has the highest weight value (0,750). Then followed by composing zones of hazard level to develop an early warning system (0,600), empowering people who carry out activities in the hazard zone high (0,525), compile of land allotment zones for settlements (0,500), and conduct coaching, training, and technical guidance to the people, government apparatus, private sector and hospital staff in stages and continuously (0,488).
