This research aims to know-how education, media information, event frequency and type of event affect the community’s understanding of disaster mitigation. Primary data has collected from the survey which was conducted in 2011 in Banda Aceh, around six years after the tsunami disaster December 26 2004. This survey did when the sustainability reconstruction program for tsunami post-disaster had been implementing in Aceh in the range of April 16, 2009, to December 31 2012, after its emergency response and reconstruction programs ended on April 16 2009. The research method used is a verification survey with 223 respondents as a sample. The Questionnaire is analyzed using multiple linear regression to test the hypothesis. Qualitative analysis enriches this survey by collecting and evaluating the related documents. Overall, all variables have an influence of 68% on the community’s understanding of disaster mitigation. The media information affects the community’s understanding of disaster mitigation significantly, while the education, event frequency, and type of event do not affect the community’s understanding of disaster mitigation significantly. The originality lies in the integration model of causality theories from the previous ones and uses multiple linear regression to test the model. The limitation is in the number of variables and the object. This fact implies enriching knowledge in the social sciences and as a basis for further new research models of disaster management. It also implies practical people who implement related variables.
