Indonesia is one country that is classified as vulnerable to natural disasters. Merapi eruption is
one of the natural disasters that have an impact on public health. Standby village is an important pillar
in handling disasters, since people usually are not prepared if there is a sudden disaster. The purpose
of the study was to determine the application program of public health surveillance and preparedness
after the eruption of Merapi of 2010 in the implementation of standby village in Talun Village, Kemalang
Sub-district, Klaten District Central Java. The research was descriptive using study case with qualitative
analysis. The subject of the study was performers implementing public health surveillance program.
The object of the study was the social situation in performing program. Informant was determined
by
purposive and snowball effect. Data
were collected by non participative
observation, interview,
documentation,
focus discussion group (FGD), and triangulation. Judging from some indicators, the implementation
of standby village had been running well. The performing of public surveillance program has
not
been running properly due to lack of socialization of the health center. The community disaster
preparedness
program was good enough. However,
it should be improved to preparedness

emergencies.
Standby village program and community preparedness is good enough, however it is not
followed
by a good surveillance based on community.
