Abstract
This study aimed at a prediction of tsunami hazard levels in South Bengkulu Regency, that is calculated based data on sea-level rise, distance from the coastline, distance from the nearest rivers, and beach slope. Measurement is carried out using Geographic Information System (GIS) analysis with overlay techniques and the methods of scoring/weighting. The results showed in South Bengkulu Regency the tsunami hazard levels of very high class 504.65 Km (44.8%), high class 160.77 Km (13.7%), somewhat high class 131.09 Km (11.2%), low class 64.92 Km (5.6 %) and very low class 250.39 Km (21.2%).

Summary
South Bengkulu Regency is an area prone to earthquakes and tsunamis. This is because South Bengkulu is close to the meeting of two world tectonic plates, the Indo-Australian Plate and the Eurasian plate [1]. Based on research [2] the plates are active plates, where the Indo-Australian plate moves northward while the Eurasian plates move southward and collide so that they form subduction zones along with the meeting of the two plates. This subduction zone is the main generator of tectonic earthquakes in Bengkulu. The way people respond to evacuation routes is different in every thought. It is this mindset that must be developed and given a path for the creation of public safety
