Indonesia is a country with a high level of disaster vulnerability, influenced by tectonic activity and its tropical climate. This study uses the K-Means clustering method to identify and group disaster-prone areas based on the level of vulnerability. The data used included average temperature (Tavg) and rainfall (RR) which were processed using Python. The analysis process includes data collection, pre-processing, determination of key features, and evaluation of clustering quality using the Elbow and Silhouette Score methods. The results of the grouping show two main patterns, namely flood-prone areas and drought-prone areas. These findings are expected to support the government in more effective and data-based disaster mitigation planning.  

This research aims to discuss compassion as the spirituality of discipleship of God and readiness to serve disaster victims. In this modern world, humans live with sophisticated technology and communication tools, as well as internet access which is increasingly easy for anyone to do. Humans have contributed many things based on their knowledge and skills obtained from the development and progress of the times, but sometimes humans actually act arrogant, selfish, indifferent and jealous of other people's happiness. This fact shows that humans are experiencing a crisis in all aspects of life and are no longer merciful. This research uses qualitative methods with library research to collect reference materials in the form of books, Church documents and articles related to the title of this thesis. Many people think that compassion is only for those who need it. Even though compassion is more than sentimental attitudes and feelings. For this reason, the aim of writing this thesis is to offer the meaning and significance of compassion in human life. Compassion is an attitude of deeply feeling the suffering of others, namely sympathy, empathy, pity, care, generosity, simplicity of heart, humility and building a culture of compassion. The principle of mercy is to love God and fellow human beings as oneself.

Disasters are a series of events or occurrences that cause ecological damage, eliminate many lives, cause damage to infrastructure and public facilities and services, and worsen public health or health facility services. The survey showed that, after a disaster event, the results of early detection of anxiety symptoms carried out on disaster victims showed that as many as 85.11% of people experienced anxiety within normal limits, while 14.89% fell into the clinical anxiety category. Around 15-20% of the population will experience mild or moderate mental disorders which refer to Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), while 3-4% will experience severe disorders such as psychosis, severe depression and high anxiety..

Earthquakes are one of the most common and potentially devastating natural disasters, especially in countries located along fault lines. Indonesia, which is located on the Pacific Ring of Fire, often experiences earthquakes. Simulations can improve children's disaster preparedness, provide self-confidence, and foster a sense of responsibility. Community service activities were carried out at MTsN Sumba Timur on September 7, 2024 starting at 08.00 -10.00 WITA. The name of the community empowerment program is Earthquake Disaster Preparedness Education and Simulation for MTsN Sumba Timur Students as a form of community service in the East Sumba NTT region, by providing education and understanding of the dangers of earthquakes and how to prevent accidents due to earthquakes, as well as providing simulations to maximize participants' knowledge. The first stage is a pre-test on disaster mitigation. This aims to determine students' initial understanding of earthquake disaster mitigation. There are eight Guttman scale questions containing "yes" and "no" answer choices with one correct answer. Next is the presentation of material on earthquake disaster mitigation supported by the use of power points and animated videos. The material provided is in the form of a disaster preparedness plan that includes an introduction to the types of earthquakes, the impact of earthquakes, what happens when an earthquake occurs, and the stages of efforts to increase preparedness before an earthquake occurs, when an earthquake occurs. and after an earthquake occurs. Community service activities through Earthquake Disaster Preparedness Education and Simulation for MTsN Sumba Timur Students were carried out well and effectively. The suggestions that can be conveyed are 1. Activities like this should be carried out periodically in different locations but are prone to disasters so that Disaster Preparedness efforts can be felt by the community fairly and evenly. 2. Partnerships with other sciences and sectors so that Disaster Preparedness efforts can be evenly distributed in all aspects of community life towards optimal public health.

Indonesia is a country that faces a high risk of multiple disasters, one of which is fire disasters that can be prevented by the community through preparedness and early detection. The community service program, implemented by a team of lecturers and students from the Disaster Management Study Program at Budi Luhur University in collaboration with the Tanjungpinang SAR Office, conducted a basic fire extinguishing training session at SMAN 2 Tanjungpinang. The target audience for this training was students involved in the Scout, Paskibraka, and PKS (School Security Patrol) extracurricular activities, aimed at increasing student preparedness for fire emergencies. The activities included both theoretical materials and practical exercises on extinguishing fires and techniques for victim evacuation. The evaluation results showed an increase in participants' knowledge, particularly regarding the basic concepts of fire and victim movement, with understanding levels ranging from 45% to 100%, depending on the material. Although the results were positive, areas such as the type of fire extinguisher material and victim transfer techniques require further emphasis. This collaboration between educational institutions and disaster response agencies has proven effective in building student awareness to deal with emergency situations. Recommendations for future training include adopting a more interactive approach and incorporating intensive simulations to enhance students' understanding and readiness to face disaster.

In essence, every child has the right to safety, survival, and the right to receive quality education. However, these rights may not be fulfilled due to several threats, both internal and external. Threats can occur from family factors, the environment, nature, and technology that can cause children's rights to be unsustainable. These disasters, both small and large disasters, will basically have an impact on the safety and education of children. If education is disrupted, there is a risk that children will drop out of school or even be unable to attend school permanently. The interruption of education will have a negative impact on children both economically and socially in the future, in addition to also having an impact on the child's family and community.

Background: PTSD occurs when a person undergoes life-threatening events like war, terrorism, accidents, abuse, or natural disasters. It can greatly impact an individual's well-being, causing harm to their physical, mental, social, and environmental health. Purpose: The aim of this research is to uncover the connection between PTSD symptoms and the quality of life. Methods: This study used a quantitative approach with descriptive characteristics and a cross-sectional design. The number of participants was 135 people who volunteered to be involved in flood disaster management operations. The research location was in Putussibau. Results:  According to the possibility of PTSD, about 32.6% of respondents were suspected of experiencing PTSD symptoms. In terms of physical health, 34.1% of respondents had a moderate level, in terms of psychological well-being, 34.8% of respondents had a moderate level, in terms of social relationships, 27.4% of respondents had a poor level, and in terms of relationships with the environment, 33.3% of respondents had a good level. The results of the bivariate test showed that the p value had a value greater than 0.05.  Conclusion: Due to the frequent flooding in Putussibau, volunteers may experience adjustments. In addition, engagement in regular exercise may be a factor that supports a good quality of life for respondents. These factors may explain why no correlation was found between the two variables.

Basseang Village, Pinrang Regency is an area with a hilly contour that is prone to landslides, especially during high rainfall. The lack of vegetation as a soil retainer is the main factor that increases the risk of disasters in this area. In addition, there is a diversification of cocoa plantation crops to corn which is considered to have better economic benefits. From this change in plant types, it has an impact on the strength of the soil that is prone to landslides. This study aims to implement landslide disaster mitigation through tree planting with a community-based approach. The method used is Participatory Action Research (PAR), which involves the community in every stage, from planning, seed distribution, to planting and maintenance. A total of 950 tree seedlings, consisting of candlenut, coffee, and cocoa, were distributed to 20 heads of families in landslide-prone areas. The results of the program show that this activity not only improves soil stability, but also builds public awareness of the importance of environmental conservation. In addition, the formation of environmental care groups is an indicator of the sustainability of the program. In conclusion, the participatory approach to disaster mitigation in Basseang Village has proven effective in reducing the risk of landslides and providing economic benefits to the local community.

The planting of mangroves in the northern district of Pekalongan is a mitigation effort. Where this area has a lot of coastal and coastal areas.

Mohammad Hardiansyah. Strategy to Improve The Discipline of FireFighting Personnel to the Palembang Fire and Disaster Management Service. This study aims to Improve the Discipline of Fire Fighting Personnel to the Palembang Fire And Disaster Management Service. The results show that from the results of research that has been carried out it can be said that the Strategy for Increasing Discipline of Personnel Related to Fire Fighting Services to the Community at the Palembang City Fire and Disaster Management Service has not been effective because there are several indicators that have not been met from the side of external training that are not. can be followed by all personnel due to limited funds, as well as the support of facilities and facilities that are still not supported. For training activities carried out by employees, namely internal training for Levels I, II and III, while external training is held at the DKI Jakarta Fire Department in Ciracas, and has now been implemented by the Ministry of Home Affairs.  The supporting factor in this research is where the ASN development policy, as well as agency support for internal training and personal motivation are the main and important things, although in the future there will need to be other improvements. In addition, the existence of rewards and punishments is also a motivation to improve work discipline. Improving the quality of work is apart from the quality of personnel, also in terms of improving supporting facilities and infrastructure, currently the facilities owned are still not in accordance with the needs, so this is the inhibiting factor in this research. Then a lot of fire fighting equipment is still lacking, be it hoses, pumps, for reasons of budget constraints, of course this triggers the fire fire operation process

Iskandar Suhardi, Evaluation of Health Protocol Enforcement Performance by Members of the Merdeka Post during the Covid-19 Period by the Palembang City Fire and Disaster Management Service. This study aims to analyze the Performance Evaluation of Health Protocol Enforcement by Members of the Merdeka Post during the Covid-19 Period by the Palembang City Fire and Disaster Management Service. The study used qualitative methods with data collection techniques, namely observation, interviews and documentation. The results of the study show that in the application of the health protocol itself in a combined unit of several elements and agencies, it has several weaknesses, first from the community side who really underestimates the Corona virus, then from the officers themselves there is still minimal knowledge in providing education about the importance of complying with health protocol. The enforcement of health protocols did not go as expected, based on the health protocol policy itself, because there were several aspects, where in fact not all people believed in the existence of the corona virus, some even said that this corona was just a political conspiracy and the like, so that officers had difficulty in enforcement of health protocols. In 2020-2021 the health protocol policy is going quite well, people still have fear and vigilance about the spread of the corona virus, but in the course of time and being supported by people who have been vaccinated 1 and 2, it makes people feel safer, so that strict adherence to simple wearing a mask is no longer obeyed, not to mention other things such as washing hands and so on. The implementation of this health protocol policy has many obstacles and the weak side is public awareness and the pros and cons regarding the presence or absence of the corona virus, so that some people do not obey the applicable rules, and this makes it difficult for officers to carry out the policies that have been determined. So in this case the officer must have the right technique or method so that the implementation process can be easier.
