Mitigation constitutes a comprehensive endeavor to eliminate or diminish the risks associated with disaster hazards that impact vulnerable populations. The prevention and management of land fire disasters ought to be conducted by governmental agencies in alignment with their designated responsibilities and functions; however, these initiatives have not been executed satisfactorily or optimally and have demonstrated ineffectiveness in both the prevention and management of disaster mitigation strategies, particularly concerning land fire disasters. In light of this, this study aims to reconstruct the progression of land fire disaster mitigation policies utilizing the disaster management continuum model within the context of Solok Regency, Indonesia. The disaster management continuum model is extensively acknowledged as the most efficacious framework due to its representation of various stages, aiding implementation. The methodology employed in this research is qualitative, as it is anticipated to facilitate a reconstruction of land fire disaster mitigation policies through the lens of the disaster management continuum approach. The scope of this study is confined to the aspects of land fire disaster mitigation policies that emphasize participatory engagement. The research findings reveal that the practical application of the disaster mitigation model utilizing the disaster management continuum method is substantiated by comprehensive and effective implementation. The reconstruction of the land fire disaster mitigation model can serve as an educational instrument for the community regarding land fires, thereby potentially mitigating the risk of substantial losses. This is essential to thoroughly comprehend local conditions, geological characteristics, climatic factors, and distinctive socio-economic variables in specific regions. ©2025 The authors.
