Schools are responsible for ensuring the safety of students if a natural disaster occurs during school hours. Besides, schools can implement disaster management towards the natural hazard in the form of effective preparedness so that the school’s resilience to disasters has been successfully improved. This study was aimed to determine the level of preparedness of students, teachers, and schools in dealing with the tsunami in Pacitan Bay, Pacitan Regency. The data collection method was done by filling out questionnaires and interviewing respondents participated by 165 students and 39 teachers conducted in 11 schools in the Pacitan regency using a purposive sampling technique. The data analysis method was descriptive qualitative. The results showed that there were differences between schools especially in the matter of preparedness. School preparedness is influenced by knowledge, emergency planning, resource mobilization, early warning systems and school policies and the geographical location of the school. However, the level of school preparedness in Pacitan Bay which plays an important role is school policy. School policies in Pacitan District 36% are included in the low category, so there is a need for an increase in disaster preparedness policies in schools.
