The Disaster Preparedness School (SSB) which is an activity to build school communities through strengthening knowledge and attitudes, school policies, emergency response plans, school early warning systems, and resource mobilization based on existing school capacities in anticipating disaster risk. Descriptive research type. Sampling technique with purposive sampling. Based on this purposive sampling technique, researchers determined key informants including the Principal, Deputy Principal, and students. The results showed that: The implementation of the disaster preparedness school program at the 19 Primary Schools in Kampung Baru in Pariaman Tengah District, namely knowledge of attitudes and actions, school policies, school preparedness and resource mobility have been categorized as good. There are obstacles in the implementation of the disaster preparedness school program in the form of lack of funds and the lack of seriousness of students in the activities so that the implementation of the disaster preparedness school program has not run optimally. Efforts to be made in the future by the teacher in charge of disaster preparedness school in the form of increasing the desire of students to learn by motivating and making it more interesting so that students become interested and increase it into extracurricular activities and trying to make a subject.

Drawing on data from the RAND American School Leader Panel 2020 COVID-19 Distance Learning Surveys, we analyze principal perceptions of school preparedness for distance learning with a specific focus on how different school types (e.g., rural, urban, and suburban) and student groups (e.g., students with mild disabilities, English learner students) were impacted by rapid school closure. These findings have important implications for how state education agencies, policymakers, and districts plan to address the growth of opportunity gaps among student groups. In addition, findings have important implications for education leadership and policy researchers seeking to design and implement studies to inform next generation policy and practice.

Around 40.9 million Indonesians live in landslide prone areas. In the Ponorogo regency of the East Java province, there are 9 sub-districts that have been designated as landslide prone areas with the mild to severe category. One of the villages has experienced landslides in 2017, Banaran village of Pulung district, which 28 villagers became victim and 23 houses buried. Children are virtually one of the most vulnerable groups to being affected by disasters. The vulnerability of children to disasters is triggered by a limited risk understanding which results in a lack of preparedness in facing disasters. Achieving school preparedness is very important considering that Indonesia is a country with a high risk of disasters. It is very important to raise awareness of disasters as early as possible to minimize the impact of disaster risks. The preparedness of the school component is still below expectations, the regulations formed by providing education and simulations to students about disaster response and the impact of disasters are able to reduce disaster risk considering that children are one of the vulnerable groups. We counseled students of SDN Bekiring in Ponorogo to instill their understanding about landslide disaster mitigation. Sekitar 40,9 juta penduduk Indonesia tinggal di daerah rawan longsor. Di Kabupaten Ponorogo Provinsi Jawa Timur, terdapat 9 kecamatan yang telah ditetapkan sebagai daerah rawan longsor dengan kategori ringan sampai berat. Salah satu desa yang pernah mengalami longsor pada tahun 2017 adalah Desa Banaran Kecamatan Pulung yang mengakibatkan 28 warga menjadi korban dan 23 rumah tertimbun. Anak-anak sebenarnya merupakan salah satu kelompok yang paling rentan terkena bencana. Kerentanan anak terhadap bencana dipicu oleh pemahaman risiko yang terbatas yang berakibat pada kurangnya kesiapsiagaan dalam menghadapi bencana. Mewujudkan kesiapsiagaan sekolah menjadi sangat penting mengingat Indonesia merupakan negara dengan risiko bencana yang tinggi. Sangat penting untuk meningkatkan kesadaran bencana sedini mungkin untuk meminimalkan dampak risiko bencana. Kesiapsiagaan komponen sekolah masih dibawah ekspektasi, regulasi yang dibentuk dengan memberikan edukasi dan simulasi kepada siswa tentang tanggap bencana dan dampak bencana mampu mengurangi risiko bencana mengingat anak merupakan salah satu kelompok rentan. Kami mendampingi siswa SDN Bekiring di Ponorogo untuk menanamkan pemahaman tentang mitigasi bencana longsor.
