Abstract— The purpose of this study is to formulate the concept of strategy and formulation of disaster management policies in Indonesia, especially faced with the challenge of increasing trends in natural and non-natural disasters and the emergence of the Covid-19 pandemic. This study uses a descriptive qualitative approach with an emphasis on literature studies to examine several methods and experiences (lessons learned) in various implementations of disaster management policies in Indonesia. The result of the research is the need for strategies and policy formulation in each phase of a disaster (pre-disaster, emergency response, post-disaster) from various aspects of the disaster management system, namely legislation, planning, institutions, and funding. The proposed disaster management strategy and policy formulation refers to the mandate of the 1945 Constitution, namely (1) to protect the entire Indonesian nation and the entire homeland of Indonesia (reformulating adequate funding policies for each stage of disaster management); (2) promoting public welfare (reforming post-disaster policies with the principle of build back better, safer and sustainable); (3) educating the nation’s life (reformulating the policy of mainstreaming or mainstreaming disaster risk reduction to all levels of society, through communication, education, and information as well as dedication); (4) participate in implementing world order based on freedom, eternal peace, and social justice (reformulating policies for cooperation, both domestically and internationally for disasters).Keywords— Strategy; Formulation; Disaster Management Policies; Disaster Management System
