The frequency of natural disasters that occur in Indonesia is quite high, ranging from earthquakes, tsunamis, floods, landslides, forest fires, and volcanic eruptions, disasters that are directly caused by human activities. Some of the disasters that occurred in Indonesia were small in scale, but many were very large and powerful, such as the tsunami in Nangroe Aceh Darussalam, the tectonic earthquake in the Special Region of Yogyakarta, and 30 September 2009 earthquake in west sumatera. The tsunami and earthquake disasters caused enormous damage to property and infrastructure as well as loss of life. Conditions like this require Indonesia to develop and have special policies to deal with or deal with natural disasters properly. If not, then the losses or victims due to natural disasters will be greater. An earthquake on September 30, 2009 measuring 7.9 on the Richter scale struck the west coast of Sumatra. causing loss of life and damage to infrastructure. Most of the victims occurred on the island of Sumatra, especially Aceh and West Sumatra. There were 1,115 killed, 1,214 seriously injured and 1,688 lightly injured. One of the important elements in efforts to build a natural disaster management system is to evaluate and take important lessons from the activities or systems for natural disaster management that have been carried out so far. Strengths and successes as well as weaknesses and failures in natural disaster management that have been carried out will be important lessons for building a better national system for natural disaster management in the future. Therefore, A comprehensive study of natural disaster management activities or systems should be used as learning materials to form a disaster management system. Disaster preparedness by minimizing vulnerability has been identified as a better approach to dealing with disasters than post-disaster response. Creating a culture of prevention is critical to dealing with everyday hazards and the consequences of disasters. Disaster risk reduction is defined as a conceptual framework, which considers the possibility of minimizing the vulnerability and risk of disasters throughout society, to avoid (prevention) or to limit (mitigation and preparedness) harm, This study aims to find out how the gender effectiveness in reconstruction post-disaster in Minangkabau, to reach the above aims, we use the data of natural disaster in Minangkabau.
