Abstract

The aim of this research is because Indonesia is geographically and geologically the most disaster-prone country in the world. Based on this phenomenon, education can anticipate the high number of disaster victims. Learning at school is one of the bridges to student preparedness through the disaster literacy model. The research method used is Research and Design (R&D). Data collection uses documentation, questionnaires, tests and interviews. The results of the research show that most students have sufficient knowledge regarding disaster literacy, curiosity about disaster material is very high, attitudes during a disaster show high awareness, and awareness of disaster literacy is good. The weakness is that students only understand disasters from the media and their skills in dealing with disasters are still low. The implication of this research is that disaster literacy provides an opportunity in schools to form a character that cares about disasters.
