“…Catastrophic nature-triggered disasters create diverse opportunities for learning and change (Birkmann et al, 2008;Choudhury & Haque, 2018;Davidsson, 2020). Such opportunities can be captured when there is a diversity of institutions operating at the local level.…”

Despite widespread recognition that social learning can potentially contribute toward enhancing community resilience to climateinduced disaster shocks, studies on this process remain few and far between. This study investigates the role of local institutions (formal, informal, and quasi-formal) in creating learning arenas and translating social learning into collective action in flash floodprone Sunamganj communities in Bangladesh. We follow a Case Study approach using qualitative research methods. Primary data were collected through 24 key informant interviews, 10 semistructured interviews, six focus-group discussions, and two participant observations events. Our results reveal that the diversity and flexibility of local-level institutions creates multiple learning platforms in which social interaction, problem formulation, nurturing diverse perspectives, and generating innovative knowledge for collective action can take place. Within these formal and informal learning arenas, communities' desire and willingness to be self-reliant and to reduce their dependency on external funding and assistance is clearly evident. Social learning thus paves the way for institutional collaboration, partnership, and multi-stakeholder engagement, which facilitates social learning-based collective action. Nurturing institutional diversity and flexibility at the local level is therefore recommended for transforming social learning into active problem-solving measures and to enhance community resilience to disaster shocks.

“…The community and disaster resilience scholarship widely recognizes the importance of learning at multiple levels (Berkes & Ross, 2016;Cundill, et al, 2015;. It is also acknowledged that disaster events and/or conditions open 'windows of opportunity' for learning, change, and improvement Davidsson, 2020;. However, limited attention has thus far been paid to how learning at multiple societal levels from episodic events, such as disaster-shocks, shapes risk reduction efforts and resilience to climate-induced disaster-shocks at the community level.…”

“…One of the environmental problems caused by nature is natural disaster. After a disaster, there will be a lot of damage in various places which causes complex impacts on the social and environmental systems (Davidsson, 2020). Shoji et al, (2020) stated that natural disasters cause many human lives to be lost.…”

This article discusses the benefits of technology on learning media for environmental education. The research objective was to see the impact of natural disaster video media on increasing student sensitivity. The research method used was experimental with research samples from two groups of 30 students in Accounting and Financial Institutions at SMK Yatindo Bekasi . The instrument used was a questionnaire with multiple choices. Data analysis used inferential statistics with SPSS Version 22. The test results on the normality test for the experimental class and control class obtained a count sig value = 0.200> 0.05 sig table with normal distribution. The homogeneity test obtained a sig value of 0.58> 0.05 sig. table, the results of the recommendations are equally homogenous variant groups. In the hypothesis test, the t-test value was obtained = 5.970> 2.002 or sig (2-tailed) = 0.000
