The village of Sukapada, Kageratan Pagerageung is an area that is prone to land movement disasters, but only 3 (three) villages are affected by the land movement, namely Citereup Village, Garadaha Village, and Bojot Village which results in cracks on the road, and the walls or floor of the house. The potential of the local community in Sukapada Village is expected that the community can be independent and cooperate with the government in managing disaster risk, therefore the importance of building PRBBK in Sukapada Village.
