Strengthening Community-Based Disaster Literacy Through the Inerie Eco-Safe Community Model in Primary Schools in Golewa District

Abstract

Golewa District, Ngada Regency, is an area with potential exposure to various disaster threats, making it necessary to strengthen disaster literacy from school age. This community service activity aims to strengthen the disaster literacy of primary school students through the Inerie Eco-Safe Community program. The activity was carried out at SD Malanuza, SD Koeloda, and SD Rutosoro, involving 150 students, using a participatory approach through disaster education, the installation of evacuation route signage, and the establishment of a school-based disaster literacy community. The results show that students gained an understanding of various disaster threats and mitigation measures, the schools now have evacuation route signage as a preparedness support facility, and the Inerie Eco-Safe Community was formed as a platform to support the sustainability of disaster education within the school environment. This program demonstrates that integrating education, providing preparedness facilities, and actively involving school members can support the growth of a disaster-aware culture in primary schools
