Analysis of Disaster Awareness and Community Disaster Risk Reduction in Indonesia Through Disaster Education

A comprehensive approach is essential to understand disaster risk better and take the necessary preventive measures. The purpose of the study is to analyze disaster awareness and disaster risk reduction in the community. The methods used were descriptive, quantitative, and qualitative, with data collection techniques using questionnaires and 234 respondents. The results of the study show that some people have experienced disasters and are not prepared to deal with disasters. Most people (62%) still feel less or unprepared for disaster situations, indicating the need for increased preparedness education and training. Even though they are not prepared, the community already has a basic understanding of the right actions when a disaster occurs. Although the majority have experienced disasters, the level of physical and mental readiness to deal with emergencies is still low. Knowledge of the surrounding environment through mapping is very important in disaster preparedness, but its implementation has not been evenly distributed. Through Kamishibai, disaster education and understanding of the surrounding environment can become educational programs in disaster mitigation.
