Peran Guru Bimbingan dan Konseling dalam Meningkatkan Kesiapsiagaan Peserta Didik dalam Menghadapi Bencana

Indonesia is a country that has a relatively high level of vulnerability to natural disasters. Data on natural disaster events in Indonesia in 2023 is 4,800 disaster events and in 2024 there are 2,093 disaster events. School and student preparedness is an important key in developing strategies when facing disasters because there are still disasters that cannot be predicted when they will occur. Guidance and counseling teachers must have basic knowledge and the ability to deal with disaster situations well before a disaster, during a disaster and after a disaster. Providing guidance and counseling services is one of the right steps in an effort to increase student readiness. This research uses literature study as a research method. The research results show that guidance and counseling (BK) teachers play an important role in providing disaster preparedness education such as information about types of disasters, how to protect themselves from disasters, as well as steps that students must take when a disaster occurs. In addition, guidance and counseling teachers play a role in supporting psychosocial services to students by helping train them to manage their anxiety and fear of disasters and providing emotional management strategies such as relaxation techniques to increase appropriate psychosocial support..
