An earthquake with a magnitude of 7.4 on Friday, 28 September 2018, occurred in Donggala, Central Sulawesi, which had a significant impact on the lives of the surrounding community.

This study was conducted by exploring and collecting local knowledge and collective memories of the community regarding disasters by using an ethnographic field research approach. Primary data was collected through in-depth interviews, and secondary data were collected from relevant documents. The results show that the Central Sulawesi region has a lot of local knowledge and community collective memories of disasters. The people of Central Sulawesi and the Kaili ethnic group have a culture passed down from generation to generation in the form of customary law to prevent environmental damage based on disaster mitigation.
