After the 2018 Lombok Earthquake, buildings at the Faculty of Engineering, University of Mataram (FT Unram) were severely damaged and there was no comprehensive treatment. Facilities for earthquake mitigation are still minimal and if available they are not designed and placed properly. Some parts of the building have been renovated but appear unfinished, while there were new constructions that have not been investigated regarding their suitability with earthquake mitigation. Anticipating re-occurrence of a major earthquake in Lombok, it is very necessary to implement earthquake mitigation at FT Unram. In this paper, results of vulnerability investigation of each building will be presented including number, type, and level of damages as well as their locations and detailed documentation of each point of damages in form of pictures and photos/videos. Through this activity vulnerabilities of each building can be identified comprehensively, so that appropriate treatments can be carried out, and the safest evacuation route can be planned as well.

After the 2018 Lombok earthquakes, buildings within the Engineering Faculty of the University of Mataram (FT Unram), were severely damaged and there have been no comprehensive treatments. Facilities to support earthquake mitigation, such as signs for evacuation routes and assembly points (temporary evacuation sites), are still minimal, and even if they are available many of them are not designed and placed properly. Some parts of the buildings have been partially renovated, meanwhile, there are new buildings constructions that have not been investigated related to disaster mitigation. Anticipating the re-occurrence of big earthquakes in Lombok, it is very necessary to carry out activities for implementing earthquake mitigation at FT Unram. The activities are divided into three stages, namely first: conducting direct reviews for inventory and documentation of all vulnerable points, followed by making of maps and building plans; second: determining the proper locations of assembly points, creating labels and signs for evacuation routes and assembly points, and making tutorial videos on safety instructions; third: socialization to the policymakers (Faculties and Department’s officials), and outreach as well as evacuation drill for all academic communities. The expected output of these activities is increasing of understanding and skills of the academic community in conducting disaster mitigation at their workplaces and application of technology as well as recommendations for disaster risk reduction policies at the faculty and university level.
