Indonesia is located along the Pacific Ring of Fire and close to some natural hazards, including earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanic eruptions, flooding, and droughts. BNPB (the National Agency for Disaster Management) recorded 436 deaths, 1353 mild injuries, 783 serious injuries, and 77,975 houses also, and schools were damaged. It is important to build awareness of disaster and culture of disaster risk reduction. This article provides information about how to build a culture of alertness and safety in schools by developing a network of fellow stakeholders in the field of disaster management in Indonesia. Therefore, a conceptual framework for schools-based disaster preparedness should be provided. Preparation, resources, simulation, and promotion phases for health policy-makers are the important aspects of school-based disaster preparedness in Indonesia. Many countries have successfully implemented a school-based disaster preparedness strategy. The information about this program is expected to build preparedness in the future, as well as prevent the losses of life and property from the future hazardous event.
