When a disaster occurs, directly or indirectly, the destruction of houses and public facilities makes the need for shelter the greatest and most urgent need. Therefore, shelter interventions need to be integrated with other interventions such as clean water and sanitation, child protection, protection of women's rights, disabilities, and other vulnerable groups, recovery, health, livelihoods, and other sectors in the national disaster management cluster. The novelty of this research is the Strategy and Intervention of Humanitarian Shelters for Natural Disasters During the Covid-19 Pandemic by integrating aspects of the risk of Covid-19 transmission. This study uses a qualitative research method with a descriptive approach with secondary data sources in answering research problems. Research answers will be described based on the data and facts obtained in the data collection process, which will then draw conclusions based on the results of the analysis that has been carried out. The data analysis used is the data analysis technique developed by Miles, Huberman, and Saldana (2014), which consists of data collection activities, data reduction, data presentation, and data verification or concluding. The results of this study indicate that strategies and interventions for humanitarian shelters for natural disasters are needed during the Covid-19 pandemic. These strategies or interventions include shelter needs that are following the needs of the community, KEYWORDS – Strategy and Intervention; Humanitarian Shelter; natural disasters; Covid-19 pandemi I. INTRODUCTION As a consequence of Indonesia's geographical and geological location, apart from giving this country a source of natural wealth, it is also prone to disaster threats (Maarif & Theresya, 2017). Geologically, Indonesia is a meeting country of active tectonic plates which makes it prone to volcanic disasters, earthquakes and tsunamis. On the other hand, Indonesia's geography with a tropical climate that is located between two continents and oceans makes it prone to multiple natural disasters such as earthquakes, tsunamis, floods, landslides, and other natural disasters. This geographical and geological condition has the consequence that there are no districts or cities that are free from the threat of disasters in Indonesia(National Agency for Disaster Management, 2021). It is Indonesia's obligation to protect its citizens from the threat of disaster. This is stated in the fourth paragraph of the mandate of the 1945 Constitution. In addition, the affirmation of protection against the threat of disaster is reaffirmed in Law 3/2002 on national defense(Indonesia, 2002; RI, 1945). Disaster is a non-military threat (Yuliato et al., 2021)which if underestimated will have an impact on the paradigm that disaster is a threat that cannot be overcome or even resisted and eliminated (Maarif, 2012).
