Coastal areas have become more exposed to natural hazards. Therefore, the management of coastal hazards is becoming more essential. Unfortunately, coastal hazards are often overlooked until their occurrence brings severe damage to the coastal areas. As more people develop their assets and properties in coastal areas, the impact from coastal hazard phenomena increases, such as the risk of potential hazards against coastal communities and properties as a result of sea level rise. The objectives of this paper are to evaluate and review the quality of the coastal hazard management plans that have been implemented in several countries. Developing advanced setbacks based on the need to avoid or reduce risk and accepting uncertainties can be established and translated into planning and management system in a pragmatic and effective way. An organization can learn from the success and failures, proving to be an effective approach that crosses functional boundaries. Best practices, new technologies and knowledge are to be transferred through this approach. The approach proposed in this study is the preparation of coastal hazard management for coastal communities through informed, coordinated and timely actions over long term. It is necessary to avoid an uncoordinated sectoral approach and locally incoherent mitigation countermeasures. From the lessons learned, it is important to follow appropriate and effective coastal hazard management cycle chart as a guidance for protecting the coastal area and the community.
