Disaster is an event that can occur anywhere and is no exception in a hospital. It is important for hospitals to have Hospital Disaster Plan as a guideline for all personnel in the hospital. One of the majority health workers in hospitals is nurses. Nurses play an important role in handling disasters so that they are required to have knowledge and attitudes about disaster preparedness. This study aims to describe the nurse's knowledge and attitudes about disaster preparedness in the RSUD K.R.M.T. Wongsonegoro Semarang. This research method was descriptive quantitative with a survey approach. The sampling technique used a proportionate random sampling. Total respondents were 190 respondents. The results identified that nurses' knowledge about disaster preparedness was fair (86; 45.3%). The nurse stated that the hospital had disaster plan (106; 55.8%), but did not understand the contents of the disaster plan (127; 66.8%) and did not know the main components or issues that should be included in the disaster plan (106; 55.8%). The nurse was willed to handle the victims of the disaster (189; 99.5%). The nurse accepted the risk and was not afraid of illness in handling the disease outbreak (175; 92.1%), but was afraid of losing his job if he did not come to work (115; 60.5%). Nurses are expected to be able to participate in the preparation of disaster plans and attend training and education, so that in the implementation of disaster response in the hospital can be assigned according to their roles and responsibilities.
