ABSTRACT: The village of Kupuk, located in the Bungkal District of Ponorogo Regency, East Java, is highly susceptible
to natural disasters such as forest fires and tornadoes. Additionally, natural springs in the area have posed drowning
risks. Recognizing the urgent need to enhance public awareness and readiness, students from Muhammadiyah
University of Ponorogo engaged in a community service program to create an educational video on disaster
preparedness and first aid. The process involved identifying specific disaster risks pertinent to Kupuk Village,
collaborating with disaster management experts and local authorities, gathering comprehensive information,
conducting first aid simulations, and producing a professionally validated video. This video was then disseminated
through social media and local community networks. Preliminary assessments show a significant increase in
community awareness and preparedness for emergencies. This initiative underscores the critical role of disaster
mitigation and education in protecting communities. The collaborative effort among stakeholders and the innovative
use of video technology can serve as a model for other regions facing similar threats. Future plans include continuous
monitoring and further community engagement activities to ensure the program's sustainability and long-term
impact.

1. INTRODUCTION
Natural disaster mitigation and emergency preparedness are critical components of community
resilience, particularly in regions prone to frequent natural hazards (Amelia, 2024; Craighead, 2007; Sun,
2022). Previous studies have demonstrated that communities with low disaster awareness and
preparedness levels suffer higher casualties and property damage (Choirudin et al., 2021; Sekaryanti et al.,
2022; Vedianty et al., 2023). For instance, research conducted by Smith et al. (2018) highlighted that villages
in rural areas often lack access to essential disaster education and resources, resulting in delayed responses
during emergencies. Furthermore, a study by Johnson and Martin (2017) revealed that drowning incidents
in rural communities with natural water sources are significantly higher due to limited first-aid knowledge
among residents.
Kupuk Village, situated in the Bungkal District of Ponorogo Regency, East Java, exemplifies these
challenges. The village's susceptibility to forest (Ahmed et al., 2023; Zahroh, Rachmawati, et al., 2023),
tornadoes (Makhmud et al., 2024), and drowning in natural springs necessitates a targeted approach to
disaster preparedness and first aid education (Carney, 2011; Izadkhah, 2005; Parkes, 2015). Prior efforts
to address these issues have been sporadic and insufficient (Putra et al., 2023), primarily due to limited
135

resources and the absence of a structured educational framework (Zahroh, Darmayanti, et al., 2023).
Empirical evidence suggests that community-based educational interventions can significantly improve
disaster readiness (Triono et al., 2023). For example, a community service program in West Java
successfully increased local disaster awareness through the distribution of educational materials and
training sessions (Rahman & Sari, 2019).
Disaster mitigation and first aid counseling are essential components in building community resilience,
particularly in regions such as Kupuk Village, which are prone to natural calamities (Asbari, 2021; Piesse,
2007; Sartori, 2007). This research's significance lies in its comprehensive approach to preparing the
community for emergencies, thereby potentially reducing the adverse impacts of disasters (Rizdania et al.,
2023a). Implementing such educational interventions can significantly enhance the community's capacity
to respond effectively to emergencies (Haanurat et al., 2024), thus saving lives and minimizing property
damage.
Previous studies have shown that educational programs on disaster preparedness and first aid
significantly improve community response during emergencies. For instance, a study by (Febrian et al.,
2024; Hidayatullah et al., 2023) found that communities with access to disaster education and first aid
training were likelier to exhibit prompt and efficient emergency responses (Fernandez, 2002; Okuda, 2008;
Will, 2012). Additionally, the World Health Organization (2017) report highlighted that first aid training in
disaster-prone areas led to a marked decrease in injury-related fatalities.
Furthermore, using video technology as an educational tool has been empirically proven to enhance
learning outcomes. According to research published in the Journal of Educational Technology & Society
(2016), video-based learning materials are more engaging and accessible, increasing the retention of critical
information. By leveraging video technology, the project in Kupuk Village aims to ensure that the
educational content reaches a broader audience and is easily comprehensible (Balagopal, 2008;
Pongponrat, 2011; Qianda, 2021). This innovative approach raises awareness and empowers community
members with practical skills to handle emergencies effectively.
Krupuk Village, situated in the Bungkal District of Ponorogo Regency, East Java, is a region plagued by
frequent natural disasters, including forest fires and tornadoes (Saputri et al., 2024). Moreover, the
presence of natural springs has introduced additional hazards, such as the risk of drowning (Suharsiwi et
al., 2024). The need for heightened public awareness and preparedness in the face of these dangers is
pressing. In response, students from Muhammadiyah University of Ponorogo have taken an active role in
addressing this need through a community service initiative. Their project aims to develop an educational
video focused on disaster preparedness and first aid.
This endeavor began with a thorough assessment of the specific disaster risks that Kupuk Village faces
(Bates, 1978; Luo, 2017; Madhusudan, 2005). By collaborating with disaster management experts
(Kurniawan et al., 2024; Yulianeta et al., 2024)and local authorities, the students ensured that the
information they gathered was both accurate and relevant. The creation of the educational video also
involved practical first aid simulations, which were incorporated to provide viewers with realistic and
applicable knowledge. The final product was professionally validated, ensuring its credibility and
effectiveness. The video was subsequently shared through social media platforms and local community
networks, making it easily accessible to residents.
Preliminary assessments indicate that this initiative has significantly boosted community awareness
(Handayani et al., 2023; Purwasih et al., 2023; Tricahyono et al., 2024)and emergency preparedness. The
success of this project highlights the importance of disaster mitigation and education in safeguarding
communities. It also showcases the potential for multimedia tools to disseminate critical information
effectively. This collaborative effort between students, experts, and local authorities demonstrates a model
that other regions facing similar threats can replicate. Looking ahead, continuous monitoring and additional
community engagement activities are planned to maintain the program's impact and ensure its long-term
sustainability.

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION

This section presents the research findings and provides an in-depth discussion of the various aspects
of disaster mitigation and first-aid counseling in Kupuk Village (Chowdhury, 2017; Ioannou, 2023; Peterson,
2013). The study's outcomes are analyzed in light of existing empirical evidence, offering a comprehensive
understanding of the community's preparedness and the effectiveness of the educational video. The
discussion is organized into several vital subtopics, each addressing a specific research component.
A. Identification of Disaster Risks
The project's initial phase involved a thorough assessment of the specific natural disaster risks facing
Kupuk Village (Maaruf et al., 2023; Tekumalla & Banda, 2022). Forest fires, tornadoes (Correia et al., 2020;
Shah et al., 2024), and drowning incidents due to natural springs were identified as the most pressing
threats (Blaustein et al., 2023; Nur & Wisnu Wijaya, 2021). This assessment was supported by historical data
and expert consultations, revealing the region's patterns and frequencies of these disasters. Empirical
studies from similar rural areas in Indonesia highlighted the importance of tailoring disaster preparedness
programs to local risks, guiding educational content development.
Evidence and Expert Opinions
To substantiate the identification of disaster risks, various empirical studies and expert opinions were
consulted. According to a 2015 study by the Indonesian National Disaster Management Authority (BNPB),
rural areas in East Java, including Ponorogo Regency, have witnessed frequent forest fires and tornadoes,
particularly during the dry and monsoon seasons (Huang et al., 2023), respectively (Mujahidin et al., 2023;
Samarakkody et al., 2023). The study also noted that natural springs, while beneficial for water supply, pose
drowning risks, especially for children and the elderly.
Similarly, a report by the World Bank (2017) emphasized the necessity of localized disaster risk
assessments. The report highlighted that rural communities in Indonesia are often vulnerable due to
geographical factors and limited access to disaster response resources. This insight was crucial in
emphasizing the importance of community-specific educational programs, as generic information might not
address the unique risks faced by Kupuk Village.
Empirical Evidence
Empirical data from previous research further supports the identified risks. For instance, a case study
conducted by the Indonesian Institute of Sciences (LIPI) in 2018 focused on the frequency and impact of
natural disasters in rural East Java. The study found that forest fires were most prevalent during prolonged
drought, while tornadoes often struck during the transitional seasons between wet and dry periods. The
research also recorded several drowning incidents in natural springs, highlighting the need for targeted
safety measures and awareness campaigns.

the community (Clair et al., 2021; Truban & Liu, 2024). According to a study by Shaw et al. (2004),
community-based disaster risk reduction strategies involving local stakeholders are significantly more
effective. The engagement of local leaders and disaster management professionals allowed for integrating
indigenous knowledge, enhancing the relevance and acceptance of the educational video among Kupuk
Village residents.
In Japan, the collaboration between local governments and community members in disaster
preparedness programs has shown considerable success (Arifin, 2020; Ghezeljeh, 2019; Rosyida, 2022).
For instance, the Hyogo Framework for Action emphasizes the importance of local participation in disaster
risk management (United et al. for Disaster Reduction, 2005). Similarly, in Indonesia, the collaborative
efforts between the Indonesian National Board for Disaster Management (BNPB) and local communities
have proven effective in mitigating the impacts of natural disasters (Lassa, 2013). These examples
underscore the value of involving local stakeholders, as they bring critical insights and resources that can
significantly enhance the community's capacity to respond to emergencies.
Empirical evidence supports the effectiveness of these collaborative approaches. A study by Aldrich
and Meyer (2015) found that communities with strong social networks and active participation from local
authorities experience faster recovery and reduced fatalities in the aftermath of disasters. In Kupuk Village,
the joint effort between the students, experts, and local authorities facilitated the production of an
educational video that was both informative and relatable. The involvement of local disaster management
