Furthermore, the internal inhibiting factor is the lack of facilities and infrastructure so that empowerment does not run smoothly and lack of knowledge and skills of members of the Satlinmas about disaster, while the external is the awareness of the people who are still lacking, and the geographical conditions that are prone to disasters. So the suggestion from the author is that Satlinmas in Pandansari village must also propose additional funding requests to complement facilities and infrastructure that may still be lacking and approach the government about the importance of empowerment for members of Satlinmas as a form of self-awareness in handling disasters or disruption of community security in their environment, but still there must be supervision of funds for every detail of these requirements
