A large earthquake has occurred several times in the area of West Sumatra. At present, the potential for earthquakes still threatens the area of West Sumatra. The risk of earthquake disaster can be minimized by mitigating disasters. Mitigation is an effort made to reduce and minimize the consequences of disasters, which include preparedness, alertness and ability. The integration of earthquake disaster material with teaching materials is one of the effective steps in disaster mitigation efforts in the education field. One of the right teaching materials to use in the modern and technologically advanced era is electronic book (e-book). The purpose of this study was to determine the preparedness of students facing earthquake disasters as a preliminary study for the development of high school physics e-book on the theme of earthquakes. This research uses a descriptive method. The study subjects were SMAN 1 Sawahlunto students. The data of the study are primary data obtained from questionnaires using the Likert scale. This study indicates that it is necessary to develop physics e-book on earthquake themes to improve students' preparedness in facing earthquake disasters. © 2020 IOP Publishing Ltd.
