Abstract



 The study aims to determine the level of risk perception and preparedness among students living in flood-prone areas. A quantitative descriptive approach was adopted, employing purposive sampling to select 40 respondents based on specific criteria such as age, gender, domicile, and prior flooding experience. Data collection was conducted through questionnaires focusing on students' knowledge, attitudes, and actions related to flood disasters. The findings revealed that students' knowledge of flood preparedness is categorized as high, reflecting their awareness and readiness to face potential flood hazards. Statistical analysis showed that the Flood Risk Perception variable had a t-count of 13.803, exceeding the t-table value of 1.67, indicating a significant relationship between risk perception and disaster preparedness. Similarly, the preparedness variable also demonstrated a t-count of 13.803, emphasizing that students in Kuta Lhoksukon Village are at a considerable risk of experiencing floods in the future. Students’ perceptions highlighted a strong sense of responsibility and understanding regarding the consequences of floods, emphasizing the importance of proactive measures in disaster risk reduction. The study underscores the critical need to enhance disaster education and preparedness programs in flood-prone regions to ensure a resilient student population capable of minimizing risks and mitigating the impacts of natural disasters.
