Technical analysis of data in this study using triangulation techniques as a technique to check the validity of the data. Institutional coordination in disaster management carried out by BPBDS with other agencies/Agencies (Department of Health, Social Services and Public Works Department of Spatial Planning and land), has been implemented quite well. Similarly, the observation shows that some indicators of coordination have been implemented well, but some are still lacking and some have not been implemented such as guidance, consultation and direction through official and routine meetings. Factors that influence coordination in improving the effectiveness of BPBDS are: differences in ways, work attitudes, duties, commitments, procedures, financing, inventory of infrastructure and supporting facilities, and abilities/skills. Obstacles encountered in coordination to improve the effectiveness of BPBD is the lack of communication and the intensity of the meeting, the persistence of egosectoral attitude and the ability of implementers in disaster management.
