Buleleng is a regency in the Province of Bali with various potential disaster risks, mainly dominated by natural disasters. This condition is influenced by the topography of the Buleleng Regency area, which has the characteristics of Nyegara Gunung. Namely, to the north is a coastal area, while to the south is a hill area. Based on these conditions, it is necessary to have a risk analysis of natural disasters that can potentially occur so that alternative disaster management can be made. This study aims to determine the potential for disaster risk in Buleleng Regency and the priorities for handling the level of risk and intensity of the threat. The method used in this study is an analysis of potential natural disaster risks obtained from a combination of hazard, vulnerability and capacity data. Threat data was obtained from data released by BNPB from the inarisk.bnpb.go.id, while vulnerability and capacity data were obtained from interviews and secondary data from related agencies. The data obtained was then used in an FGD with BPBD Buleleng Regency, which was then analyzed descriptively and qualitatively. Based on the research results, it was found that the potential for disasters in Buleleng Regency was categorized into 2, namely: disasters that have a high-risk impact are Earthquakes and Tsunamis, while disasters with high incident intensity are floods, extreme weather, extreme waves and abrasion, drought, landslides, flash floods and fires.
