Abstract
Indonesia is prone to natural disasters. The Indonesian Disaster Risk Index (IRBI) in 2018 showed that Indonesia's provinces are all categorized as the medium to high disaster risk class. Losses, damages, and other harmful effects of a disaster can occur due to the high level of vulnerability and the lack of capacity in society to manage it. A human rights-based approach in a disaster context can be a tool to encourage government accountability and also empower society to enhance its capacity. Preparedness is one of the essential factors that aims to build the capabilities needed to efficiently manage all types of emergencies and achieve well-established transitions from response to sustained recovery. Effective preparedness measures are believed as able to reduce disaster impact significantly. Using normative approach (statutory and court case approach), this paper intends to analyze the prospects and challenges of litigation for the fulfillment of preparedness measures by the government.
