Indonesia is a country with a high level of disaster vulnerability due to its geographical and geological conditions, making disaster communication a crucial factor in disaster risk reduction.

The findings indicate that weak coordination among communication actors, inconsistent official messaging, low public media literacy, and the dominance of informal information sources in digital spaces are the main factors undermining the effectiveness of disaster communication. These results highlight the need to manage
