Edukasi Mitigasi Bencana Gempa Bumi untuk Siswa SD Frater Bakti Luhur Makassar

Abstract

Indonesia is a country located in the Pacific Ring of Fire region, with a high risk of earthquakes. Therefore, the movement of tectonic plates makes it vulnerable to tectonic earthquake disasters. SD Frater Bakti Luhur, located on Jl. Perintis Kemerdekaan Km 10, Tamalanrea, has 844 students and 54 teachers, most of whom come from the surrounding area such as Mamasa Regency, Tana Toraja Regency, and North Toraja Regency. The purpose of this activity is to improve earthquake disaster safety among students through education and earthquake mitigation. The methods used include an initial situation analysis of partners, designing an innovation model, educating students, implementing technology, mentoring and evaluation, and monitoring the sustainability of activities. The outcome of this activity is an increased understanding among students of earthquake signs, actions to take before, during, and after an earthquake. Students were also given pocket books to support their understanding of earthquake knowledge and the process of rescuing themselves from earthquake risks. Safety signs, evacuation routes, assembly points, and hazard warning sirens were also provided. It is hoped that the sustainability of this activity will involve parents to better understand the conditions and risks of earthquakes, especially in earthquake-prone areas.
