Abstract Disaster risk management involves reducing disaster damage to homes, critical infrastructure and the interruption of basic services and developing their resilience. This work analyzes the perception of geohydrological risk by the population living or working in the town of Cuyocuyo (southern Peru), which was affected in previous years by events of landslides, debris flow and floods. In order to analyze the effect of the social perception of geohydrological risk on disaster preparedness in areas under threat from landslides and debris flow, a survey was applied to 65 adult heads of household. The method for estimating results was logit regression. The results show the following: First, the preparation through the acquisition of items necessary to avoid the impact of the disaster is related to indicators of perception of disaster risk and the age of the population. Second, the knowledge and prevention of disaster mitigation significantly depends on indicators of dependency of the place and the affection of the place. Third, the participation of households in trainings and drills to prevent disasters organized by the government depends significantly on the indicators of the perception of probability of the disaster, threat of disaster risk and the identity of the place and Fourth, the modification and reinforcement of the buildings of the settlers depends positively on the dependence of the place.

ABSTRAKPenyelenggaraan penanggulangan bencana dalam situasi terdapat potensi terjadi bencana sebagaimana dimaksud dalam Pasal 34 huruf b meliputi kesiap siagaan, peringatan dini dan mitigasi bencana (Undang-Undang Republik Indonesia Nomor 24,2007 tentang Penanggulangan Bencana). Mitigasi bencana adalah serangkaian upaya untuk mengurangi resiko bencana, baik melalui pembangunan fisik maupun penyadaran dan peningkatan kemampuan menghadapi bencana, mitigasi bencana merupakan suatu aktivitas yang berperan sebagai tindakan pengurangan dampak bencana atau usaha-usaha yang dilakukan untuk mengurangi korban ketika bencana terjadi baik korban jiwa maupun harta. Besarnya potensi ancaman bencana di Indonesia menyebabkan peluang masyarakat menjadi korban sangat besar terutama anak-anak dikarenakan mereka masih sangat rentan dan memiliki pengetahuan yang minim berkaitan dengan mitigasi bencana. Pemberdayaan anak usia sejak dini untuk memahami mitigasi bencana merupakan langkah awal membangun masyarakat sadar bencana sehingga ketika terjadi bencana  maka partisipan PKM yaitu guru dan anak-anak usia dini di MBS Sang Surya yang berada ditempat ini tidak lagi kebingungan dan panik karena telah memahami bagaimana cara mengatasi dan mengurangi resiko bencana. Dengan harapan pengetahuan yang didapat selama PKM ini ditularkan pada lingkungan sekitar dalam rangka mengurangi risiko bencana, maka metode observasi partisipatoris atau observasi partisipan dan role play atau metode praktik dipergunakan dalam PKM ini. Kegiatan ini dalam pelaksanaannya juga melibatkan tenaga ahli dan Komunitas Relawan Mataram (KRM) yang juga tergabung dalam Muhammadiyah Disaster Management Centre (MDMC) Nusa Tenggara Barat. Hasil capaian dan kesimpulan dalam kegiatan ini sebagai berikut: a} Telah adanya pengetahuan dan pemahaman tentang mitigasi bencana sehingga setiap tindakan bertujuan untuk meningkatkan self awareness mereka tentang bencana yang potensial terjadi, dan b) Dimilikinya pengetahuan kesiapsiagaan akan mitigasi bencana yang bertujuan untuk mengatasi dan mengurangi dampak bencana atau resiko jangka panjang terhadap harta dan jiwa manusia. Kata kunci: mitigasi; bencana; anak usia dini. ABSTRACTImplementation of disaster management in potential situations as referred to in Article 34 letter b includes preparedness, early warning and disaster mitigation (Law of the Republic of Indonesia Number 24,2007 concerning Disaster Management). Disaster mitigation is a series of efforts to reduce the risk of disasters, both through physical development and awareness raising and capacity to deal with disasters, disaster mitigation is an activity that acts as an action to reduce the impact of disasters or efforts made to reduce casualties when disasters occur both casualties and treasure. The magnitude of the potential threat of disasters in Indonesia causes the opportunity for the community to become very large victims especially children because they are still very vulnerable and have minimal knowledge related to disaster mitigation. Empowerment of children from an early age to understand disaster mitigation is the first step in building a community aware of disasters occurs, PKM participants are teachers and early children in MBS Sang Surya who are in this place are no longer confused and panicked because they have understood how to overcome and reduce disaster risk. With the expectation that knowledge gained during PKM is transmitted to the surrounding environment in order to reduce disaster risk, participatory observation methods or participant observation and role play or practice methods are used. This activity in its implementation also involved experts and the Mataram Volunteer Community (KRM) who were also members of the West Nusa Tenggara Muhammadiyah Disaster Management Center (MDMC). The results and achievements in this activity are as follows: a} Knowledge and understanding of disaster mitigation has been created so that every action aims to increase their self-awareness about potential disasters, and b) Possess knowledge of disaster preparedness aimed at mitigating and reducing the impact of disasters or long-term risks on human assets and lives Keywords: mitigation; disaster; early children.

<div><p class="Els-history-head">Schools are an essential avenue for youth to learn about disaster resilience A critical success factor for the uptake of disaster resilience learning in schools is the ability to embed learning activities in school programs that are linked to relevant curriculums. The introduction of Disaster Preparedness School (DPS) hoped students were able to identify disaster resilience learning and face the disaster occurring. In 2009, the government started developing a pilot project by combining the curriculum disaster education to the curriculum of Disaster Preparedness School (DPS). The purpose of this study was to analyze the cause of inhibition and make a strategy to solve the problem.

The program aims to accelerate the building of students' understanding and preparedness for disasters so as to minimize the impact. In the program, the roles of Tagana are: 1) providing knowledge of the types of disasters to students; 2) providing knowledge of disaster mitigation according to the type of disaster, and 3) conducting disaster mitigation simulations. In this case, disaster education is more focused on earthquake disasters. Meanwhile, the obstacles faced by the Tagana Goes to School team were limited personnel and lack of response from the school. For this reason, additional volunteers must be carried out and disaster preparedness cadres formed in schools, so that the program can run effectively and efficiently.</em></p>
