A landslide disaster is a life-threatening event that can result in loss of life, environmental damage, and property loss, so it is necessary to have self-evacuation capabilities. Self-evacuation capabilities can be improved with the DEMASI method (Video Animation and Simulation). The aim of this research is to determine the effect of DEMASI (Video Animation and Simulation) on the ability to self-evacuate landslides in class X students at SMA Negeri 1 Dongko. Pre-experimental design research design with a one-group pretest-posttest approach without control. The purposive sampling technique obtained 34 respondents from 170 populations. The research instrument used an observation sheet on self-evacuation capabilities for landslide disasters. Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test statistical test with α 0.05. The results of the research before being given DEMASI intervention (Video Animation and Simulation) were that all (100%) respondents had poor abilities, and after the intervention almost all (85.3%) respondents had good abilities. Results: The statistical analysis showed that the p-value was 0.000 < α 0.05, so there was an influence of DEMASI (Video Animation and Simulation) on students' self-evacuation ability for landslide disasters. The DEMASI method (Video Animation and Simulation) combines two methods that are more interesting, effective, and interactive because audiovisuals recorded by optic and auditory nerves are sent to the occipital lobe and temporal lobe to be described and processed, which involves many brain regions and the frontal lobe so that they can influence the respondent's abilities. The DEMASI method can be used as an educational medium for students and other school residents in an effort to improve their ability to self-evacuate in landslide disasters.

Effective household financial management is a crucial pillar for the economic well-being of every family, particularly in the face of an uncertain economy and the challenges of modern life. Women hold a strategic position in improving household management because they have a greater ability to carry out household activities compared to men. The purpose of this activity is to highlight the role of women in enhancing household financial management, thereby supporting the sustainability of their families. This community service method employs a qualitative descriptive approach, utilizing data collection techniques that include initial surveys or observations, questionnaires, Focus Group Discussions (FGDs), and documentation in the form of photos, videos, and notes taken during the activity. The findings of this community service indicate that two activities are carried out: interactive lectures on family financial management and training on managing family finances. The results showed that 11 out of 13 participants had an understanding of family financial management education for Kuta village residents. In contrast, two people did not have a clear understanding of the training and lectures provided. These results indicate that not all RT mothers in Kuta village have the same sense of family financial management. Therefore, in the future, socialization and training in family finances are needed, involving more RT mothers in Desa Kuta.

This Community Service Program (PKM) was implemented in response to the high usage of social media among students, particularly Instagram, which often becomes a platform for cyberbullying. This phenomenon becomes increasingly complex when students come from diverse cultural backgrounds. Comments or posts considered normal in one culture may be perceived as offensive in another.

Furthermore, the support from local administrative officials plays a vital role in enhancing marketing communication efforts. Policy guidance and facilitation of interactions with external stakeholders create broader networking opportunities. This success story illustrates that a synergy between creative communication strategies and institutional support can effectively promote urban farming as a community-based solution for improving local welfare through the use of local wisdom.

Advances in digital technology have brought significant changes in the way local brands build their brand image and positioning in the market. Social media is one of the main platforms used in marketing communication strategies because of its ability to reach a wide and interactive audience. This research aims to analyze the marketing communication strategy implemented by Daclen, a local fashion brand from Bandung, in shaping sales positioning through the Instagram account @Daclen.id and its official website. The research method used was qualitative descriptive with data collection through in-depth interviews, observations, and documentation. The analysis was carried out using the Circular Method of SOME (Share, Optimize, Manage, Engage) approach which emphasizes the connection between content sharing, message optimization, communication channel management, and active engagement with consumers. The results show that Daclen has succeeded in developing a simple, yet consistent and targeted digital communication strategy. Instagram is used as the primary medium to strengthen the visual power of brands, through uploading high-quality product photos, promotional videos, and active interaction with audiences. Meanwhile, Daclen's official website functions as a credibility center that provides complete information about products, prices, and after-sales service. The combination of the two creates a well-rounded consumer experience and supports an exclusive perception of the brand. Each stage in the SOME model is executed optimally. The Share stage includes the distribution of creative content with a consistent upload schedule. Optimize is done by adjusting messages according to trends and audience responses. Manage focuses on account management and interaction monitoring, while Engage focuses on building emotional connections through quick responses and interactive content. The implications of this study show that the SOME-model-based digital communication approach can help local brands such as Daclen strengthen their positioning, build an exclusive image, and create long-term relationships with consumers amid increasingly fierce competition in the digital fashion industry.
