N2 - Rational decision making is a systematic and logical way of creating resolutions. It is needed in critical situations, especially the unavoidable ones, such as annual floods. People affected by this natural disaster can continue living their lives if good rational decisions are made. This research paper consists of two studies. The first identifies rational decision making, based on age, education, socio-economics, and gender. The second is based on decisions associated with resilience, coping strategies, and age. A total number of 354 people from various cities in East Java were used as subjects for the study. In the first study, 58% of the people made good rational decisions, with the remaining 42% making low decisions. Furthermore, education was found to significantly influence the decision making process. The second study found a significant relationship between the resilience, coping strategies, and age with the ability to make rational decisions. The results of this study will be used to make better decisions for the communities in order to minimize physical and psychological impacts.
