“…However, the execution of the mentioned policies seemed to be different from expected. Public schools in Indonesia have not implemented disaster preparedness education even years after terrible disasters (Syamsidik et al, 2021). This results in the low quality of disaster management that potentially affects the high number of victims, both in the form of fatalities, moral, or material.…”

The incidence of natural disasters has an impact on various sectors of life, including the education sector. Schools as educational facilities are considered vulnerable areas that need handling steps to reduce disaster risk. As one of the most vulnerable countries to natural disasters, Indonesia already has several policies and programs from the government to address these problems. However, several studies have shown that the implementation did not go according to plan. These studies also reveal that this implementation lies in the local context in which the program or policy is implemented. That is why the study aims to examine the school disaster preparedness implementation in the Mount Sinabung area as one of the disaster-prone areas in Indonesia. This research utilizes the Interpretative Structural Modeling approach to build a hierarchy and classification of obstacles in implementing school disaster preparedness around that area. Data are collected through a combination of observation, interview, and survey techniques in 2017 and 2018 that involved a total of 35 participants. The result showed 14 sub-elements identified as limiting factors of school preparedness implementation in the Mount Sinabung area. Three elements serve as the first level (or the basis/key element) of the obstacles hierarchy: Integration of subject, school policy, and school curriculum. Intervention at the base level will trigger changes and give impact the other upper-four levels of elements. This hierarchy and classification are relevant to the context of the Mount Sinabung eruption and cannot be applied in other areas. This research did not measure the numeric data per sub-element in disaster preparedness. Therefore, the limitations of this study can be directions for future research to examine the implementation in another area by using numeric data. The results of this study also provide major recommendations to several stakeholders. The existing policies regarding school disaster preparedness and their implementation need to be reviewed to improve the result.

The 2004 Indian Ocean Tsunami, which devastated the coasts of Aceh and Nias, revealed that the event was a mega-hazard category. Following the disaster, a new era in the development of tsunami mitigation throughout the archipelago began. Nonetheless, given the impact of the two tsunamis that occurred at the end of 2018, achieving mitigation within 17 years poses a unique challenge and high priority. The relationship between tsunami-prone areas and community preparedness has become a crucial factor in achieving regional disaster resilience. The objective of this research is to provide a regional assessment of tsunamis risk as well as community preparedness for future tsunami. The coast of Teluk Ulee Lheue, Aceh Besar, was chosen as the location for the assessment as a role model. The research method consists of tsunami mathematical modeling considering the impact caused by the magnitude of earthquakes 8.2, 9.15, and 9.2. The Nonlinear Shallow Water Equation (NSWE) model was used in the simulation, which was discretized using the explicit leap-frog Finite Difference Method. Field activities were included not only to collect topography and land use data but also to gather information and community response. The data was provided directly from the local community through the completion of a questionnaire, with a total of 150 respondents being evaluated. The findings of this study reveal that the consequences of the tsunami inundation remain quite considerable, even for a smaller-scale earthquake than the previous 2004 event. In general, the degree of community preparedness seems to be quite high, especially in terms of tsunami awareness. An improvement in disaster emergencies is required, specifically in the household sector. However, with a high degree of community preparedness, it would be essential to carry out individual evacuations rapidly.

Disaster education through the adaptation of the werewolf game and acehnese local wisdom

Aceh is one of the provinces in Indonesia that is vulnerable to several disasters caused by natural hazards. The earthquake and tsunami in 2004 have given considerable losses to the people of Aceh and impacted people’s lives and education process. Some of the impacts include the deaths of tens of thousands of students and teachers and 1,488 schools damaged, which disrupted the education process of 150,000 students. In addition, the people of Aceh are also faced with disasters caused by non-natural hazards, namely is the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic. Aceh has local wisdom, such as Rumoh Aceh, patchouli, jamblang, and Nandong Smong, which has been known from ancient times across generations and has been proved by research for their benefits in disaster mitigation. This study had developed a game to introduce disaster mitigation combined with local wisdom in Aceh called Serigala Siaga Bencana (SERGANA), adopted and modified from the werewolf game. The validity test of this game involved 15 students from Dayah Darul Hikmah, who were then fostered as a team of students for disaster preparedness with knowledge, understanding, and practice of preparedness in dealing with disasters. The results showed an increase in the score from pre-test to post-test after playing the game SERGANA.
