In addition, it aims to discuss and see the relationship<br />between authority institutions in the disaster management which are Kesbanglinmas &amp; PB Kab.<br />Sleman, Muhammadiyah Disaster Management Centre (MDMC), and Merapi Circle Information<br />Network (JALIN MERAPI). This research uses qualitative method. The data about the policy and<br />survivor handling are got through interviews with representatives from Pakem, Turi, and<br />Cangkringan. They are head of sub districts, head of villages, and head of country-sides. The findings<br />of this research show that the disaster regime character is fatalist-individualist and the authority<br />relation is substitution (acts as a substitute). Therefore, humanity-based point of view is important to<br />see the risk. It will empower the capacity of government institutions. The last, involving civil society<br />(CSO) is also significant to streamline the role of disaster management regime guide. Therefore, the<br />synergy between government and CSO will easily be achieved to implement Community-Based<br />Disaster Risk Management (CBDRM). CSO is the government’s partner to reduce disaster.
