ABSTRACT
This research aims to provide an overview of the competency of nurses in dealing with the disaster response phase at the Community Health Centers (CHCs) in Padang City. The research uses an exploratory descriptive approach with data collection techniques using a questionnaire in the form of a dichotomous scale. The sample was taken by total sampling from all nurses at two CHCs, namely Kuranji and Andalas in Padang City, totaling 40 people. The results of the analysis showed that the majority of respondents were women (80.81%), who had a Diploma III in Nursing (90.48%) and worked in General Polyclinics and Emergency Rooms (26.19%). Most respondents (78.04%) had never attended disaster training. However, 91.86% of respondents had disaster response competence at the CHC in the good category. It was concluded that the majority of respondents had good service competence in responding to disasters, both in services to individuals and families as well as in handling psychological problems and vulnerable groups. Nurses who respond quickly to disasters have an important role in reducing the impact of disasters and improving people's quality of life.
