The coastal area of Watulimo District is included as a tsunami-prone area that is directly adjacent to the Indian Ocean. The Indian Ocean is the subduction zone of the Indo-Australian Plate and the Eurasian Plate, which results in geological processes and high-intensity seismic activities that can trigger tsunamis. On the other hand, in the new normal era, the coast of Watulimo District includes a high-level COVID-19 zone with 74 cumulative cases, comprising 6 active cases, 54 recovered cases, and 14 deaths. The study aimed to examine the level of capacity of coastal communities in Watulimo District, Trenggalek Regency, based on five livelihood capitals (natural capital, financial, physical, human, and social capital) to reduce tsunami disaster risk in the new normal era. The analytical method used in this research consisted of scoring analysis and pentagon assets analysis. The capacity of the coastal community in Watulimo District shows that the sub-villages with high capacity are Gading, Prigi, and Ketawang Sub-villages. On the other hand, the sub-villages with medium capacity are Gandu, Tirto, Gendingan, Sumber, and Gares Sub-villages. Meanwhile, the sub-village with low capacity is Karanggongso Sub-village, due to the low human capital and social capital. Therefore, in efforts to reduce disaster risk, the area that needs to be prioritized for handling is Karanggongso Sub-village through improvements in social conditions, one of which is by prioritizing education levels, such as training related to the threat of the tsunami disaster and the COVID-19 outbreak. © Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd.
