Abstract
Water-related disasters, such as floods and drought, continue to occur in the Comal Watershed area because of several reasons such as high growth of land conversion and insufficient policy support. Each type of disaster happens in a particular prone area that can be identified based on certain characteristics. Accordingly, this paper aims to identify the typology of the occurring disaster and subsequently assess the disaster risk reduction efforts that have been implemented by government institutions. Content analysis was applied to further explore the disaster phenomena in the area. Data obtained from various secondary data sources such as mass media and planning documents related to the selected basin. The results of the study show that catastrophic disasters take place in particular natural physical conditions of the river basin. Other than that, disaster risk reduction efforts have been conducted in accordance with the efforts of integrated water resources management.
