Abstract Environmental disasters pose significant challenges to sustainable development, particularly due to their high potential to disrupt the communities’ social and economic conditions. To address these challenges, disaster management efforts must be integrated within the framework of Disaster Risk Reduction, conforming to the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction, which serves as a global benchmark in its implementation. However, there are relatively few regulations, especially at the regional level, that explicitly incorporate DRR content. This research aims to highlight the intensity of environmental disasters in Lampung Province that require adequate disaster management arrangements. As is widely recognized, the flood that occurred in January 2025, affecting 16 sub-districts in Bandar Lampung City and impacting 11,223 individuals, illustrates the scale and severity of the risks faced by the region. Specifically, this research analyzes changes in the substance of the Lampung Province Regional Regulation on Disaster Management. In addition, this study provides a comprehensive analysis of disaster risk reduction strategies to reduce societal vulnerability and support sustainable development. Employing a normative legal research method with a statutory approach, this study finds that changes in regulatory substance are consistent with the development of disaster management. The regulation has also contained the concept of Disaster Risk Reduction optimally. By embedding Disaster Risk Reduction into policy, the Lampung Provincial Government can promote inclusive collaboration among diverse stakeholders in disaster management and response efforts, thereby advancing sustainable development.
