Mitigasi bencana merupakan upaya mengurangi risiko dan dampak buruk bencana melalui pembangunan fisik dan peningkatan kesiapsiagaan masyarakat. Tujuan utama program PKM ini adalah untuk mempersiapkan siswa-siswa Sekolah Dasar dari 7 sekolah di pesisir pantai Kota Bandar Lampung agar dapat menyelamatkan diri saat terjadi bencana alam dengan cara memberikan pengetahuan tentang mitigasi bencana dan menyediakan jalur evakuasi yang jelas. Lokasi percontohan untuk sosialisasi dan pelatihan adalah di SDN 1 Sukamaju Teluk Betung Timur. Metode kegiatan PKM ini yaitu Service-Learning yang merupakan pendekatan pembelajaran yang mengintegrasikan kegiatan akademik dengan pengabdian masyarakat. Hasil kegiatan berjalan lancar dan kolaboratif sesuai  rencana, jalur evakuasi, tiitk kumpul dan display-display yang dibutuhkan sudah terpasang di lokasi secara permanen, lalu sosialisasi dan simulasi untuk memastikan penggunaan display dan langkah-langkah evakuasi sudah di jalankan. Kegiatan ini menghasilkan transfer pengetahuan dan keterampilan kepada siswa-siswa Sekolah Dasar melalui display, sosialisasi dan pelatihan, dimana pengetahuan dan kecakapan siswa tentang bencana meningkat menjadi 100%.

Crisis communication plays a vital role in disaster management, especially in disaster-prone countries like Indonesia. This study examines the effectiveness of communication strategies used by the National Disaster Management Agency (BNPB) in conveying information to the public during the earthquake disaster in Sulawesi. The results of the study indicate that the use of mobile application-based communication technology increases the speed and accuracy of information delivery.

In this paper, we want to present the development of several previous writings and then make them into new topics related to God's presence in natural disasters by looking at them from the perspective of the Old Testament. There are so many responses from religious people, especially in Christianity, about God's presence in a disaster or natural disaster. There are those who think that the cause of disasters is humans themselves, there are also those who assume that disasters arise because God wants to give a warning or punishment to humans. Therefore, this article will describe God's presence in a disaster in general.  

Geologically, Indonesia is located along the Ring of Fire, a volcanic line that surrounds the Pacific Ocean, making Indonesia a vulnerable country and has the potential to experience natural disasters. This is not proportional to the ability and readiness of the community in dealing with natural disasters. This community service socialization and disaster mitigation simulation was carried out to Kemala Bhayangkari 9 Waru Junior High School Students which aims to provide education to be alert when facing natural disasters, especially earthquakes. This socialization and simulation is very effective as seen from the students practicing the simulations that we demonstrate, so it can also be assessed that students really understand and are ready if there is a natural disaster

Java Island is the most disaster-prone region in Indonesia because Java Island is located in a convex zone (meeting each other) between two tectonic plates, namely the Eurasian Plate in the north, and the Indo-Australian Plate which causes the formation of volcanoes and earthquakes. Java Island which is near the convergence zone of these plates causes Java to become a disaster-prone zone, with many volcanoes that often erupt and experience many earthquakes. Volcanoes are formed due to the movement of hot magma from the meeting of plates to the earth's surface. While earthquakes occur due to the instantaneous movement of earth plates.

Indonesia, as a country with complex geological conditions due to the convergence of various tectonic plates, is highly susceptible to natural disasters such as earthquakes, tsunamis, and volcanic eruptions. The city of Semarang, as the capital of Central Java Province, also frequently faces disasters such as floods, landslides, and earthquakes. Predicting the occurrence of natural disasters becomes crucial to mitigate the negative impacts they cause. This study uses the Markov chain method to predict natural disasters in the city of Semarang based on disaster data from 2018-2022. The prediction results indicate a 16% chance of floods, 34% chance of landslides, 10% chance of tornadoes, 22% chance of fires, and 17% chance of falling trees in 2023. Validation of the predictions against actual data for 2023 shows a relatively good match for floods and fires, but there are significant differences in the predictions for tornadoes and falling trees. These results indicate that the Markov chain method has potential in predicting disaster occurrences, but accuracy improvements are needed to account for weather variability and dynamic environmental factors. This research is expected to assist the government and society in enhancing disaster preparedness and mitigation in the future.

This study discusses the influence of social media in raising awareness among coastal communities regarding natural disasters. The rapid development of information and digital technology, which benefits all individuals, has now extended its benefits to various societal elements such as urban, mountainous, and coastal communities. The openness of information implemented by the government exemplifies the role of social media in enhancing the awareness of coastal communities towards natural disasters. Through qualitative analysis and interviews or discussions with members of coastal communities to obtain qualitative information about their experiences regarding disaster information received through social media, this research explores how social media can influence the understanding and responses of communities to disasters in coastal areas. The results of this study are expected to provide knowledge and insight into the role of social media in disaster risk mitigation and increasing awareness among coastal communities of impending natural disasters.

Ngandong Village, Gantiwarno District is the village designated to be the location for implementing KKN with the theme Disaster Resilient Village. The problems faced by Ngandong Village based on the results of research conducted include sedimentation, landslides and flooding. The aim of holding KKN in Ngandong Village is to ensure that Ngandong Village can become a Disaster Resilient Village and increase the capacity of the village community in the context of disaster management. Activities carried out in efforts to develop Disaster Resilient Villages include FPRB (Disaster Risk Reduction Forum), SPAB (Disaster Safe Education Unit), Volunteer Capacity Building, Disaster Literacy, Evacuation and Disaster Prone Route Signs, Disaster Recap and Socialization Maps, and making EWS Tools (Early Warning System). Apart from the main activities, there are supporting activities to increase capacity in the form of Ecoprint training and decorating Pertiwi Kindergarten.

Pengembangan kawasan industri di Jawa Barat perlu pembangunan yang memperhatikan kesesuaian lahan agar tidak memberikan masalah bagi lingkungan dan keberlanjutan ekologi. Oleh karena itu, perlu dilakukan analisis kesesuaian lahan untuk pengembangan kawasan industri dengan melihat Satuan Kemampuan Lahan (SKL). Hasil evaluasi SKL menunjukkan bahwa Provinsi Jawa Barat bagian utara memiliki tingkat kesesuaian lahan yang paling baik untuk pengembangan kawasan industri untuk jenis SKL bencana alam, erosi, pembuangan limbah, morfologi, kestabilan pondasi, kestabilan lereng, dan kemudahan pengembangan. Sementara itu, hasil analisis kesesuaian kawasan industri menunjukkan bahwa 33,31% dari total luas wilayah Provinsi Jawa Barat sesuai untuk pengembangan kawasan industri dengan sebaran spasial di bagian utara Provinsi Jawa Barat, 61,99% kurang sesuai, dan 1,70% masuk dalam kategori tidak sesuai. Perbandingan hasil analisis kesesuaian lahan dengan RTRW Jawa Barat juga menunjukkan rencana industri di utara pulau masuk dalam kategori sesuai untuk pengembangan industri, sedangkan rencana industri di tengah dan selatan pulau masuk dalam kategori kurang sesuai.
