“…Basically, disaster risk reduction is an effort to reduce threats and vulnerabilities and increase community capacity [14]. It should be carried out from the smallest level of society such as creating a disaster-resilient awareness among the people [15][16][17]. Local communities can be involved in recognizing their own vulnerabilities and capacities by giving them important roles from the planning, implementation, and evaluation stages of disaster management to minimize the negative impacts of disasters and accelerate the post-disaster recovery process [18,19].…”

One of the vulnerable-to-disasters parties is women. In fact, women have great potential to take part in creating a disaster-resilient society. Dharma Wanita Persatuan (Women’s Association) as an organization consisting of the wives of civil servants or female civil servants in government agencies has so far only played an informal role as a supporter of their husbands and has not been empowered. If members of Dharma Wanita are empowered through the Srikandi Bencana (Disaster Heroine) program, they have the potential to become a driving actor in increasing preparedness in the community where they live. This quantitative study aims to analyze the level of knowledge of members of the Dharma Wanita Persatuan UNNES about the Srikandi Bencana program of National Agency for Disaster Countermeasure (BNPB) and analyze the level of preparedness of members of the Dharma Wanita Persatuan UNNES. This study involved 50 members of the Dharma Wanita Persatuan UNNES. Data was collected by using a questionnaire method using google forms. The data analysis techniques used in this study include quantitative descriptive analysis techniques. The results point out that the average knowledge of members of the Dharma Wanita UNNES regarding the Srikandi Bencana is still relatively low at 33.33%. Then, the average level of their preparedness is in the medium category, namely at 68.13%. These numbers indicate that the Srikandi Bencana program must be campaigned more massively and realized among the Dharma Wanita. If the members are equipped with adequate disaster preparedness, they will play as notable actors to establish alertness in their families and society. This way, disaster risk reduction will also be more gender-friendly that everyone can participate.
