Abstract

Natural disasters in Indonesia have a high frequency because a whole land and sea in Indonesia be hemmed in tectonic and volcanic plates. Some natural disasters are not caused by those plates, such as landslides, floods, hurricanes, etcetera. In the research location (beginning of 2018), there was a natural disaster called the silent tsunami caused by landslides at Mount Anak Krakatau in the middle of the ocean. In large quantities, these landslides produced high waves in the coastal area in Lampung and Banten, and there was no early warning system for this silent tsunami. The article aims to study the local knowledge related to the Anak Krakatau Volcano eruption in the coastal around it. Also, the article will present the history of Anak Krakatau volcanoes and the lessons from communities within the local knowledge. For example, it is from the Tale of Lampung Submerged as secondary data for this article. This tale will be analyzed how this tale could understand the local knowledge in terms of the Mount Krakatau eruption. This local knowledge will help the communities’ strategies to face natural disasters and how the recovery process is carried out to increase environmental awareness.
