Membentuk Anak Tangguh Bencana Melalui Edukasi Mitigasi Bencana Gempa pada Anak-Anak Desa Lamnga

Abstract

This service activity aims to form earthquake-resistant children of Lamnga Village because this village is located in the Aceh region, which is an earthquake-prone area. The activity was carried out using two methods: the explanatory method followed by practice and giving stickers containing the presented material. The material that is drawn in the form of stickers contains pictures that are interesting and easily understood by children. As a result of the activity, the children's understanding and knowledge of reducing the risk of an earthquake disaster for safety increases. From initially only thinking that running outside the building was the only way to save yourself, it developed that you shouldn't run in a panic and protect yourself with something to avoid head injuries. Other knowledge is that children can take cover under tables or chairs when leaving the building during an earthquake is impossible. The method of verbal explanation and giving stickers can also be used in similar socialization with different activity targets.
