<![CDATA[Indonesia is highly vulnerable to various hydrometeorological disasters, particularly flash floods, which frequently result in significant human, environmental, and economic losses. Pidie Jaya Regency, Aceh Province, is among the regions exposed to recurrent flooding, underscoring the urgent need to strengthen disaster risk reduction through early educational interventions. This community engagement program aimed to provide flash-flood mitigation education within the framework of sustainable development to sixth-grade students at State Elementary School 6 Meureudu. The program involved 25 students and adopted a participatory educational approach comprising interactive lectures, group discussions, audiovisual learning materials, disaster simulations, question-and-answer sessions, and reflective feedback activities. The educational materials covered the basic concepts of flash floods, their causal factors, early warning signs, appropriate mitigation measures before, during, and after disaster events, and the importance of environmental stewardship as an integral component of sustainable development. The implementation results indicated substantial improvements in students' understanding of flash flood characteristics, their ability to recognize early warning signs, and their knowledge of appropriate self-protection measures during emergencies. Moreover, participants demonstrated greater environmental awareness and actively engaged throughout the learning process. The findings suggest that participatory disaster education provides an effective contextual learning strategy for primary school students and has considerable potential to foster a culture of disaster preparedness from an early age. Furthermore, strengthening students' disaster preparedness capacities may contribute to broader community resilience by transferring knowledge to families and surrounding communities, thereby supporting the achievement of sustainable development goals.]]>
