Preparedness is the main competency that must be possessed by disaster-prone communities, including students. Preparedness is built on knowledge. Previous research shows the level of student preparedness varies greatly, but there is no explanation yet about the relationship of knowledge and other factors that affect student preparedness. In addition, preparedness measures have not yet examined the component of disaster markers or precursors. This research was conducted to describe the factors associated with the level of student preparedness. The study population was science education students and the research sample was determined purposively, so that 104 science students took IPBA courses as samples. Research is descriptive research. Data collection was carried out through a TPPG preparedness questionnaire and an earthquake precursor knowledge test. In addition, secondary data in the form of UTS values are also used that represent basic earthly knowledge that is relevant to earthquake preparedness. The results showed that 1) TPPG preparedness for students was in the moderate / sufficient category, 2) preparedness was influenced by the area of origin of students and was not influenced by gender and earth knowledge, 3) students' knowledge of earthquake markers was very low.
