The activity began with an opening by school representatives who conveyed the aim of the activity while connecting the importance of disaster preparedness with efforts to preserve the environment through planting trees.. These two things are a reminder that building a safe and sustainable environment requires the care and involvement of all parties, termasuk generasi muda.

The atmosphere of the activity was then filled with student presentations about trees. Through this session, students have the opportunity to convey their knowledge and views regarding the role of trees for life and the environment. Kegiatan tersebut juga menjadi ruang untuk menumbuhkan kepedulian terhadap alam sebagai bagian dari upaya menjaga keseimbangan lingkungan.

Next, The Indonesian Scale Foundation team delivered material regarding earthquake preparedness in schools and MPR training. Students are invited to recognize earthquakes, understand the risks that can be posed, and learn the safety steps that need to be taken when an earthquake occurs and students are invited to carry out self-rescue for earthquake victims at school. The material is presented to help students understand that preparedness is not just about knowing threats, tetapi juga tentang membangun kebiasaan bertindak secara tepat dalam keadaan darurat.

The lesson then continued with an earthquake simulation. In this practical session, students practice responding to earthquake situations by applying the safety measures they have learned. Simulation is an important part of the activity because it provides direct experience for students to understand the actions they need to take when facing shocks, hingga mengikuti prosedur evakuasi sesuai arahan.

After simulation, The Indonesian Scale Foundation team provided reinforcement to reaffirm the importance of calm, discipline, and adherence to safety procedures. Students are also reminded that preparedness requires regular training and support from the entire school community, starting with students, guru, hingga tenaga kependidikan.

The activity closed with the presentation of souvenirs, closing by the presenter, and joint documentation as part of a series of activities. More than just socialization, kegiatan ini menjadi langkah untuk memperkuat pemahaman bahwa sekolah memiliki peran penting dalam membangun budaya sadar bencana.

Through this joint activity with the Indonesian Scale Foundation, Quantum Inti Indonesia Middle School is expected to further strengthen the awareness and preparedness of the school community in facing the risk of earthquakes. Reason, safety is not just about knowing what to do, but also about being prepared to act when an emergency does occur. (DM)

Indonesia is a country that has high geological dynamics. Located in the Pacific Ring of Fire area (Pacific Ring of Fire), Indonesia faces various potential threats of geological disasters, starting from an earthquake, tsunami, landslide, moving ground, to liquefaction. Ancaman tersebut merupakan bagian dari dinamika bumi yang perlu dipahami sebagai realitas lingkungan tempat masyarakat menjalani kehidupan sehari-hari.

In facing these risks, knowledge about the earth and disaster preparedness becomes an important provision, including for the school community. Students and teachers not only need to know the types of disasters, but also understand the conditions of the surrounding environment, recognize potential dangers, serta mengetahui langkah yang tepat untuk melindungi diri ketika keadaan darurat terjadi.

Starting from these needs, The Indonesian Scale Foundation took the initiative Earth School, an educational program that bridges scientific knowledge about the earth with practical learning, contextual, dan mudah dipahami oleh siswa serta guru.

Carrying a theme “Tough Teachers and Students, Safe School: Earth Literacy and School-Based Disaster Preparedness", program ini mendorong terbentuknya budaya sadar bencana yang dimulai dari lingkungan pendidikan dan dapat diperluas hingga keluarga serta masyarakat.

Getting to know Earth, Understanding the Risks Around Us

Disasters are often understood to be limited to natural events that cause damage and victims. Whereas, The impact of disasters is also related to the level of human vulnerability, environmental conditions, serta kesiapan masyarakat dalam menghadapi ancaman.

Through Earth School, Participants are invited to understand basic earth concepts, including plate movement, earthquake, tsunami, landslide, moving ground, and liquefaction. Materi disampaikan dengan bahasa sehari-hari agar peserta dapat menghubungkan pengetahuan tersebut dengan kondisi tempat tinggal dan lingkungan sekolah mereka.

This approach is expected to help students and teachers see that understanding the earth is not just about studying theory in the classroom. Earth knowledge is part of life skills that can help someone recognize risks, take a decision, dan mempersiapkan diri menghadapi situasi darurat.

With better understanding, Disasters are not only seen as something scary, tetapi juga sebagai risiko yang perlu dikenali dan diantisipasi melalui pengetahuan serta kesiapsiagaan.

Schools as Preparedness Learning Spaces

Schools have a strategic role in building a safety culture. Apart from being a place where the teaching and learning process takes place, sekolah juga merupakan lingkungan yang perlu dipersiapkan agar warga sekolah mampu menghadapi keadaan darurat.

Because of that, Earth School is designed with a participatory and interactive approach. Participants do not only receive material through exposure, but also engage in discussions, practice, dan simulasi yang berkaitan langsung dengan keselamatan mereka.

One method used is School Hazard Mapping or mapping hazards in the school environment. Through this activity, Participants are invited to identify potential dangers in classrooms and school areas, like the position of a cupboard that is at risk of collapsing, gas cylinders, serta jalur keluar yang perlu diperhatikan ketika terjadi gempa.

This mapping is the first step to understanding that preparedness can start from simple things around us. Mengenali lokasi yang berpotensi membahayakan dan mengetahui jalur evakuasi merupakan bagian penting dari upaya mengurangi risiko.

Besides that, Participants are encouraged to draft a school-based preparedness plan, including recognizing the gathering point, agree on emergency contact information, dan mempersiapkan dokumen penting yang diperlukan dalam situasi darurat.

From Knowledge to Skills

One of the challenges in disaster education is ensuring that the knowledge gained can be applied in real situations. To answer this challenge, Sekolah Bumi menggabungkan literasi kebumian dengan praktik kesiapsiagaan.

Participants will be introduced to the Disaster Preparedness Bag (TSB), including recognizing basic needs that need to be prepared to face emergencies. This activity is also an opportunity to build awareness that preparedness cannot be done suddenly when a disaster occurs, melainkan perlu direncanakan dan dipersiapkan sebelumnya.

Learning is then reinforced through simple evacuation simulations. In earthquake simulation, Participants practice protecting themselves with principles Drop, Cover, and Hold On, namely lowering the body position, take refuge in a safe place, dan berpegangan selama guncangan berlangsung.

Through this practice, peserta diharapkan memperoleh pengalaman langsung mengenai tindakan perlindungan diri dan pentingnya mengikuti prosedur keselamatan.

This experiential learning approach makes disaster education closer to everyday life. Participants don't just know what to do, tetapi juga memperoleh kesempatan untuk berlatih dan membangun kesiapan menghadapi kemungkinan keadaan darurat.

Exploring Local Knowledge to Strengthen Resilience

Apart from scientific knowledge, Earth School also provides space for local knowledge to develop in the community. Parents' stories, residents' experiences, history of disaster events, serta ingatan kolektif tentang perubahan lingkungan merupakan sumber pembelajaran yang dapat membantu generasi muda memahami wilayah tempat mereka tinggal.

Through interactive discussions, participants are encouraged to dig up experiences and stories about earthquakes, landslide, flood, maupun peristiwa lain yang pernah terjadi di lingkungan mereka.

This local knowledge can be an entry point for building dialogue between community experience and scientific understanding. Thus, pembelajaran kebencanaan tidak terlepas dari konteks sosial dan lingkungan setempat.

This effort is also important to maintain the continuity of knowledge between generations. Students can learn to understand the environment not only through books and learning materials, tetapi juga melalui pengalaman masyarakat yang telah hidup dan berinteraksi dengan lingkungan tersebut.

Teachers and Students as Drivers of Disaster Awareness Culture

In an effort to build a strong school, guru dan siswa memiliki peran yang saling melengkapi.

Teachers can be companions who strengthen preparedness learning through educational activities, risk communication, and integration of safety values ​​in school activities. Meanwhile, Students are encouraged to become agents of change who can disseminate earth knowledge and preparedness to their peers, family, serta lingkungan sekitarnya.

The Indonesian Scale Foundation targets that this socialization activity will not stop at increasing participants' knowledge. The expected results also include the preparation of a hazard map in the school environment, draft preparedness plan, agreement on assembly points and emergency contacts, serta terbentuknya kader siswa yang dapat membantu menyebarluaskan literasi kebumian di sekolah.

With the involvement of various elements of the school, Preparedness is expected to be a shared responsibility, bukan hanya tugas guru atau pihak pengelola sekolah.

Building Resilience Starts at School

Earth School is part of efforts to build a more resilient society through earth education and disaster preparedness. By recognizing the character of the earth, understand potential dangers, and practice rescue operations, warga sekolah dapat membangun fondasi keselamatan yang lebih kuat.

More than just a socialization activity, The Earth School encourages a change in perspective that preparedness is part of everyday life. It is hoped that the knowledge learned at school can be applied at home and shared with the community, sehingga manfaatnya meluas melampaui ruang kelas.

Through this initiative, The Indonesian Scale Foundation invites teachers, student, dan seluruh unsur pendidikan untuk bersama-sama membangun budaya sadar bencana yang berkelanjutan.

Reason, A resilient school is not just a school that understands threats, but also schools that prepare citizens to recognize risks, protect yourself, and act accordingly. (DM)

The message came to the fore National Dialogue, Socialization of the Four Pillars of the MPR RI: Strengthening Local Knowledge-Based Preparedness which was held by Scale Indonesia together with the Indonesian MPR and BNPB, collaborating with BPBD Central Java Province, Friday (27/2/2026), at the Central Java Province BPBD Office, Kota Semarang.

Bringing up a theme “Local Champions as the Front Guard of Community Resilience”, This activity brings together the government, volunteers, community, dan pegiat kebencanaan untuk membahas bagaimana pengetahuan lokal dapat diperkuat menjadi bagian dari strategi kesiapsiagaan bencana.

This activity presents Lestari Moerdijat, Deputy Chairman of the MPR RI, as the keynote speaker. Discussion is also present Pangarso Suryotomo, Plt. BNPB Deputy for Preparedness, and Trinimalaningrum, Director of Scale Indonesia, as a resource person. Discussion moderated by Abdurahman Heriza, Head of the Indonesian Scale Research Division.

Disaster Threats Are Increasingly Complex

Indonesia faces the threat of recurring and increasingly complex disasters. Throughout 2025 happens more than 2.942 disaster events in various provinces, with approx 70 percent of them are hydrometeorological disasters such as floods, landslide, dan badai tropis.

These conditions show that reducing disaster risk requires community involvement before the disaster occurs. Preparedness needs to be built starting from the family level, community, hingga lingkungan pemerintahan lokal.

Central Java, with the character of the region and the diversity of its people, also requires a preparedness approach that does not only rely on formal systems, tetapi mampu mengintegrasikan pengalaman dan pengetahuan masyarakat dalam menghadapi ancaman bencana.

Local Wisdom Becomes Capital for Resilience

In the midst of these various threats, masyarakat Indonesia memiliki kekayaan pengetahuan lokal yang berkembang dari pengalaman menghadapi lingkungan dan bencana.

This knowledge can take the form of traditional warning systems, patterns of adaptation to the environment, as well as the practice of mutual cooperation when facing emergency situations. However, pengetahuan lokal tersebut belum seluruhnya terdokumentasi dan terintegrasi secara optimal dengan sistem kesiapsiagaan modern.

Because of that, This national dialogue encourages local wisdom not only to be viewed as cultural heritage, tetapi juga sebagai sumber strategi dalam membangun kesiapsiagaan masyarakat.

Local Champion Becomes a Connector

One of the important actors that is of concern in this activity is local champion. They can come from community figures, village cadres, volunteers, maupun pegiat komunitas yang memiliki kedekatan langsung dengan masyarakat.

Local champions have a strategic role as a link between local knowledge and a more systematic disaster approach. They can help identify risks in their area, convey information, build risk communication, sekaligus menggerakkan masyarakat untuk melakukan tindakan kesiapsiagaan.

Penguatan kapasitas local champion diharapkan dapat mendorong lahirnya lebih banyak penggerak masyarakat yang mampu membangun budaya kesiapsiagaan dari tingkat paling dekat dengan warga.

Mutual Cooperation as a Social Force

Strengthening community-based preparedness is also closely related to the national values ​​contained in Four Pillars of the Indonesian MPR, namely Pancasila, Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia Year 1945, The Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia, dan Bhinneka Tunggal Ika.

The value of mutual cooperation, solidarity, association, dan partisipasi kolektif menjadi modal sosial yang penting ketika masyarakat menghadapi ancaman bencana.

In this context, preparedness is not merely a technical issue. Ia juga merupakan bagian dari upaya memperkuat hubungan sosial dan kemampuan masyarakat untuk saling membantu ketika menghadapi situasi krisis.

Building Resilience Through Collaboration

The National Dialogue also emphasized the importance of cross-sector collaboration. Government, business world, College, community organization, community, dan media memiliki peran yang saling melengkapi dalam membangun ketangguhan masyarakat.

Through this collaboration, local knowledge can be identified and documented, kemudian dikembangkan menjadi bagian dari perencanaan kesiapsiagaan yang lebih terstruktur.

This activity is directed to produce a number of outputs, among others local knowledge map related to disaster preparedness, community-based preparedness action plan, increasing the capacity of local champions, as well as documentation of good practices.

Further, This approach is expected to be able to form a more resilient community, increasing the role of local champions as agents of change, integrating local knowledge into preparedness strategies, serta memperkuat solidaritas sosial berbasis nilai kebangsaan.

From Citizens for Collective Resilience

Eventually, building resilience cannot be done by one institution alone. Resilience is born when people have knowledge, capacity, network, dan ruang untuk mengambil peran dalam menghadapi risiko di wilayahnya.

Through reinforcement local champion, pengetahuan lokal dan nilai gotong royong diharapkan dapat menjadi kekuatan yang memperkuat kesiapsiagaan masyarakat Jawa Tengah.

Reason, A resilient society is not just a society that is able to survive when disaster strikes, but a society that is able to recognize the risk, preparing myself, strengthen each other, dan bangkit bersama.
