This study aims to evaluate emotional and behavioral problems in children affected by the “Galodo” flash flood in Nagari Parambahan, Tanah Datar Regency, in May 2024. A total of 45 children aged 6-17 years were assessed using the PSC-17 and SDQ instruments to identify psychological disorders and analyze the relationship between age and gender with the level of disorders. The results showed that most children were in the normal category across nearly all domains of the PSC-17 and SDQ, with internalizing disorder scores in younger children showing significance (p=0.01). However, no significant relationship was found between gender and disorder scores on both instruments. These findings indicate that most children demonstrated good resilience post-disaster, but younger children require greater attention due to their vulnerability to hidden emotional disorders. This study emphasizes the importance of psychological screening and early post-disaster interventions targeting the most vulnerable groups of children.
