Complex public sector challenges require adaptive and future-oriented management capacity. This study examines how anticipatory governance strengthens the adaptive capacity of the Samarinda City Regional Disaster Management Agency in responding to urban flood risks. Using a qualitative single-case study, data were collected through in-depth interviews with 15 informants, supported by observation and document analysis. Data were analyzed through thematic analysis and interactive stages of data condensation, data display, and conclusion drawing and verification. The findings show that anticipatory governance improves organizational preparedness, interorganizational coordination, and response speed. However, implementation remains constrained by fragmented risk information, uneven early warning mechanisms, limited scenario standardization, and weak institutionalization of post-disaster learning. Strengthening integrated data systems, warning thresholds, collaboration, and institutional learning is essential.
