This community service activity aimed to build a disaster preparedness culture through earthquake and tsunami simulation activities at Madrasah Aliyah Negeri 2 Suak Timah, West Aceh Regency. The activity was motivated by the high risk of earthquake and tsunami disasters in the coastal area of West Aceh and the limited understanding of students regarding disaster mitigation and evacuation procedures. This program was carried out through collaboration between the Regional Disaster Management Agency (BPBD) of West Aceh Regency, lecturers from the Civil Engineering Department of Teuku Umar University, the Samatiga Community Health Center, and the school. The methods used included education, socialization, demonstrations, and direct simulations regarding self-rescue actions during earthquakes and tsunamis. The simulation was conducted at Suak Timah Football Field as the evacuation gathering point. The results showed an increase in students’ and school members’ knowledge and preparedness in facing disasters. Participants were able to understand evacuation routes, perform self-protection actions, and follow evacuation procedures in an orderly and rapid manner. Evaluation results indicated that disaster mitigation understanding reached 85%, self-rescue ability 88%, accuracy in following evacuation routes 90%, discipline during simulation 92%, and participant involvement reached 95%. This activity also encouraged the formation of a disaster awareness culture and the emergence of active student roles as preparedness pioneers within the school environment. Therefore, disaster simulation proved to be an effective educational medium in improving the capacity and preparedness of school communities toward earthquake and tsunami risks.

Indonesia ranks 36th among countries most prone to natural disasters, with 216 earthquakes recorded by BNPB between 2009 and 2019. Aceh is one of the high-risk regions, having experienced major disasters such as floods, earthquakes, and the 2004 tsunami. These conditions highlight the importance of knowledge of basic life support (BLS), which is essential for managing respiratory arrest, cardiac arrest, and airway obstruction in emergency situations. This study aimed to determine the level of basic life support knowledge among health workers at the North Lhoksukon Health Center, Aceh. A descriptive observational method with a survey approach was used to provide a general overview of respondents’ characteristics. The study applied univariate analysis and involved a total sample of 139 health workers. The results showed that most respondents had a good level of knowledge (116 people; 83.5%), followed by sufficient knowledge (13 people; 9.4%) and poor knowledge (10 people; 7.2%). These findings indicate that while the majority of health workers demonstrate good understanding, there is still a need for improvement among those in the sufficient and poor categories. Therefore, it is recommended that institutions provide regular BLS training to maintain and enhance the knowledge of health workers.

Indonesia merupakan salah satu negara dengan tingkat kerentanan bencana yang tinggi karena kondisi geografis, geologis, dan klimatologisnya. Kota Palu termasuk wilayah dengan risiko bencana besar, seperti gempa bumi, tsunami, dan likuifaksi, yang menunjukkan pentingnya kesiapsiagaan di lingkungan sekolah. Tujuan pengabdian kepada masyarakat ini adalah memberikan edukasi kesiapsiagaan bencana melalui media video kepada warga sekolah MTs SIS Aljufri Tatura Palu. Kegiatan dilaksanakan pada 11 Agustus 2025 dengan melibatkan 30 peserta yang terdiri dari siswa, guru, dan staf sekolah. Metode yang digunakan meliputi tahap persiapan (koordinasi, penyusunan materi, dan pembuatan video), pelaksanaan (pemutaran video, penjelasan tambahan, serta diskusi interaktif), dan evaluasi (observasi serta tanya jawab untuk menilai pemahaman peserta). Hasil kegiatan menunjukkan bahwa peserta antusias mengikuti pemutaran video, mampu mengulang kembali langkah-langkah dasar menghadapi bencana, dan aktif dalam diskusi terkait jalur evakuasi maupun peran guru saat darurat. Dokumentasi kegiatan memperlihatkan keterlibatan peserta yang tinggi, sehingga media video terbukti efektif dalam meningkatkan pemahaman dan kesadaran mengenai kesiapsiagaan bencana. Namun, evaluasi masih terbatas pada tanya jawab sehingga belum dapat mengukur peningkatan pengetahuan secara kuantitatif. Kesimpulannya, penggunaan media audiovisual dapat menjadi strategi efektif dalam membangun budaya siaga bencana di sekolah serta menjadi langkah awal untuk memperkuat kapasitas kesiapsiagaan yang selanjutnya perlu dilengkapi dengan simulasi praktis dan evaluasi terukur.

Banda Aceh City has high vulnerability to tsunamis due to its coastal location directly facing the sea and being situated in an active tectonic zone. This study evaluates the spatial distribution of tsunami risk and assesses coastal conditions as disaster mitigation efforts using a mixed-method approach that combines quantitative analysis based on Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and qualitative analysis through field surveys and expert assessments. Three beaches were selected as study locations: Ulee Lheue Beach, Syiah Kuala Beach, and Alue Naga Beach, with risk assessment calculated using the formula Risk = (H × V) / C according to the BNPB framework and overlay techniques in GIS to create risk distribution maps. Coastal condition evaluation focused on coastal vegetation and protective coastal structures assessed using an ordinal scale of 1–5. Results show that Ulee Lheue Beach has the highest mitigation capacity with a score of 64.5% (good category), Syiah Kuala Beach reaches 57.5% (fairly good), while Alue Naga Beach has the lowest score of 28.3% (poor). Correlation analysis yielded a coefficient of r = 0.97, indicating a very strong positive relationship between coastal vegetation and protective coastal structures. Therefore, the study recommends strengthening mitigation strategies through improved protective infrastructure and optimization of coastal vegetation functions, particularly in high-risk areas, to reduce tsunami impacts in the future.

Indonesia is prone to natural disasters because it is located at the confluence of three active tectonic plates. This condition causes high earthquake, volcano, and tsunami activity in Indonesia. Mount Kelud is the most active volcano in Indonesia with cycles that recur every 8 to 15 years. The community service method carried out is to collect data on the area, population, targets, capacity, vulnerability level, and empirical data on the 2014 eruption of Mount Kelud. Then conduct analysis, calculate estimates of health logistics needs, especially reproductive health, socialize the results of the analysis, and conduct disaster preparedness education. This activity was carried out for 6 weeks from March 12 to April 21, 2025. Based on the results of the risk assessment, the Ngancar District, Kediri Regency area has a score of frequent risk scale, severe impact scale, and priority and impact scale in the high category. To overcome the health crisis, a contingency plan is needed, especially for the reproductive health sub-cluster, which includes the preparedness of target data, existing capacity in the region, the level of vulnerability, and the estimated amount of health logistics needed to anticipate the eruption of Mount Kelud. Mount Kelud has a periodic eruption pattern in 8 to 15 years. The contingency plan for dealing with the health crisis of the eruption of Mount Kelud is very important for health service stakeholders because it can minimize the adverse impacts caused, increase rapid response, and ensure smooth coordination between related institutions in dealing with the natural disaster effectively and efficiently. It also supports disaster risk reduction efforts at the community level and strengthens the resilience of local communities.

Geologically, Indonesia is an archipelagic country that is prone to natural disasters, this is due to Indonesia's geographical location which is surrounded by three earth plates, namely the Eurasian plate, the Indo-Australian plate, and the Pacific plate. As a result of the meeting of the three global plates, Indonesia is located on the path of the fire mountains or what is known as the Ring of Fire which makes Indonesia prone to natural disasters in the form of volcanic eruptions, natural disasters, earthquakes, tsunamis, landslides, floods, droughts, and others. Every region is vulnerable to natural disasters, both those directly influenced by nature and those influenced by humans. Natural disasters can have negative impacts in the form of economic losses, building damage, and loss of life. One effort to anticipate the negative impacts of natural disasters is through disaster mitigation. The purpose of this PKM Activity is to Teach the Community about Community-Based Disaster Management Through the Alert Village in Pagertoyo. Because emergencies can happen anytime and anywhere without exception, the method of implementing the activity consists of the preparation stage by providing socialization, implementation by providing training, assistance and evaluation. The results of the activity showed that most participants understood the material on Community-Based Disaster Management Through the Alert Village. The community is able to demonstrate disaster simulations for evacuating disaster victims and is able to demonstrate resuscitation on victims with respiratory arrest. With this PKM, it is hoped that the community will be able to carry out disaster mitigation to help disaster victims by evacuating victims and can help provide assistance to victims who have experienced respiratory arrest.

This research analyzes the evolution of social response paradigms to disasters from reactive to proactive approaches through a comprehensive literature review. The research method employs a qualitative approach with literature study techniques to identify driving factors of paradigm change and evaluate its implementation. The results show that paradigm transformation was triggered by several key factors: major disaster experiences such as the 2004 Aceh Tsunami, development of legal and institutional frameworks (Law No. 24 of 2007 and the establishment of BNPB), increased public awareness, and advancements in science and technology. Although the proactive approach has proven effective in reducing disaster impacts, its implementation still faces challenges including gaps between knowledge and practice, lack of integration with development planning, approaches that remain top-down, limited technology adoption, and disparities in regional fiscal capacity. This research contributes to the formulation of more adaptive and sustainable disaster management strategies through recommendations for strengthening participatory approaches, mainstreaming disaster risk reduction in development planning, and developing sustainable funding models for disaster mitigation and preparedness programs.

Indonesia is a developing country located at the convergence of four tectonic plates, making it highly prone to natural disasters such as earthquakes, tsunamis, landslides, and volcanic eruptions. These frequent disasters highlight the critical need for reliable electricity during emergencies. However, disaster-affected areas often struggle to restore power due to accessibility issues. To address this, alternative energy sources are needed, and Solar Power Plants (PLTS) offer a practical solution. PLTS are easy to implement, depend only on sunlight, and provide clean energy with low carbon emissions. Under clear skies, solar radiation can reach 1,000 Watts per square meter, making it a powerful energy source. Additionally, PLTS systems are adaptable and can be deployed in various formats, including mobile units. This study focuses on designing a Mobile PLTS to support BASARNAS operations in disaster zones. Data collection was conducted using resources from BNPB, BMKG, BASARNAS, and NASA. The analysis includes the geographical characteristics of the site, solar radiation intensity, and the operational dimensions of the BASARNAS Mobile Truck. The study aims to determine the suitable system specifications and estimate the energy production capacity of the Mobile PLTS. The proposed design features 20 solar panels, each with a capacity of 300 Wp, producing an average of 27.70 kWh per day. It also includes 16 batteries for energy storage. The remaining space in the truck can be used for transporting logistics or essential tools, making it a multifunctional unit ideal for disaster response scenarios.

The 2011 Tohoku tsunami stands as one of the most catastrophic natural disasters in Japan’s history, resulting in massive loss of life, extensive property damage, and severe disruption to infrastructure along the northeastern coast. This study aims to examine the physical characteristics of the Tohoku tsunami and critically evaluate the factors that led to the failure of Japan’s disaster mitigation systems. Utilizing an essay-based synthesis approach, this analysis draws from a range of previous research findings and post-disaster assessments. The tsunami was caused by a 9.0 magnitude megathrust earthquake off the eastern coast of Honshu, generating wave heights that exceeded 10 meters in several locations. The tsunami’s immense energy produced destructive currents that penetrated deep inland, surpassing the protection capabilities of existing coastal defenses.The study identifies several contributing factors to the mitigation system’s shortcomings: the design limitations of seawalls, which were not built to withstand such extreme events; delays and limitations in the early warning system’s ability to reach all at-risk populations in time; and inadequate public preparedness, as the event exceeded historical precedents and training scenarios. These vulnerabilities highlight the need for integrated, adaptive disaster risk management strategies.Drawing lessons from Japan’s experience, this study proposes recommendations for improving tsunami mitigation efforts in Indonesia. Key suggestions include reinforcing and redesigning coastal defense structures, advancing early warning technologies such as seabed sensors and coastal radar systems, and enhancing disaster literacy through public education and scenario-based training. By adopting a science- and technology-driven approach, Indonesia can strengthen its resilience and reduce vulnerability among coastal populations facing future tsunami threats.

Palu Bay is located in Central Sulawesi Province and is one of the active seismic bays in Indonesia which is crossed by the Palu-Koro fault segmentation. On September 28, 2018, an earthquake disaster occurred in this area accompanied by a tsunami and liquefaction. Palu City, Sigi Regency and Donggala Regency are areas that are severely affected by this disaster. Research in this region is to determine the level of preparedness of Small and Medium Industries in facing natural disasters in the future. The population of SMEs is 745 businesses/people with a probability sampling technique, namely Proportional Random Sampling. The assessment was carried out through a questionnaire involving 260 SME samples randomly selected in the three regions. The results of the study illustrate that the total preparedness of SMEs in the Palu Bay Area in facing natural disasters is 34.9% of respondents stated as "less prepared" to face natural disasters, 58.3% "somewhat prepared" and only 6.8% stated as "ready" while no respondents were "very prepared" to face natural disasters. The lack of preparedness of SMEs requires attention from all stakeholders, especially the Government through its program to improve disaster resilience for the community, especially Small and Medium Industry (SME) actors in this Region.

Decision making with the application of the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) Method has been widely applied in various fields. One of them is in the field of disaster mitigation. This study aims to determine the types of disaster mitigation that apply the AHP Method in determining decisions. The research method uses the Narrative Review Method to describe and analyze various research literature on disaster mitigation using the AHP Method. The research method begins with a literature search with a limitation of 2019-2024 and the literature is only in the form of articles that have been published. 11 related articles were found that were successfully summarized. The results of the study stated that there are several types of research articles related to disaster mitigation that have implemented the AHP Method in their decision support systems, such as in research on flood-prone zoning, landslide-prone zoning, priority alternatives for flood control efforts, landslide risk factors, analyzing tsunami disaster risks, air evacuation routes and others.

The increasing frequency and severity of tsunamis in coastal areas underscore the urgent need for efficient Tsunami Early Warning Systems (TEWS). This research aims to optimize TEWS by integrating fast computational tsunami wave modeling to enhance prediction speed and accuracy. The study utilizes numerical simulations employing finite volume methods, along with GPU acceleration, to model tsunami wave propagation and its impact on coastal areas. Machine learning techniques, such as regression trees, are incorporated to analyze large datasets of pre-computed tsunami simulations for accurate forecasting. The results reveal that by applying rapid computational methods, detection time can be reduced by up to 7 minutes, particularly for near-field tsunamis. This significant time-saving enables more effective evacuation procedures and better disaster mitigation efforts. In comparison to conventional systems, the fast computation model also provides more accurate predictions, including tsunami heights and arrival times. The implications of these findings suggest that fast computational methods can substantially improve the current TEWS, allowing for quicker and more reliable tsunami warnings. Moreover, the integration of advanced machine learning techniques ensures the system's adaptability and robustness in predicting tsunami behaviors based on varying data inputs. The potential for implementing this model in tsunami-prone regions worldwide is considerable, offering an improved approach to tsunami disaster preparedness and response. By reducing detection time and enhancing prediction accuracy, the optimized TEWS can significantly minimize loss of life and infrastructure damage, making it a valuable tool for global disaster management strategies.

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.
