Abstract

This community service program addressed post–hydro-meteorological disaster disruptions to safe water access in Rancong Village, Kuta Blang Subdistrict, Bireuen Regency, Aceh, where flooding and environmental contamination increased the risk of unsafe household water and hindered recovery of daily activities. The program aimed to restore access to safer drinking water and strengthen community capacity to operate and maintain the service through an integrated, appropriate-technology intervention. The implementation combined participatory action cycles with community co-design, student service-learning through an impact-oriented field program, and an asset-based approach to leverage local resources for sustainability. Activities were conducted in sequential stages: stakeholder coordination and joint decision-making, rapid needs and risk assessment of water sources, engineering design and installation of an integrated multi-stage emergency drinking water filtration unit, field functionality and performance testing using a before–after measurement approach, technology transfer through hands-on training, and development of standard operating procedures and an operation-and-maintenance logbook managed by the village team. The program produced key outputs: a validated baseline of local water risks and service needs; an installed filtration unit at a community-agreed location; community training and operational guidelines to ensure consistent daily use; and an agreed operation-and-maintenance mechanism to support continuity beyond the project period. Overall, the program demonstrated that pairing emergency water treatment technology with structured community governance and practical capacity building can accelerate post-disaster recovery of basic services and provide a replicable model for similar villages affected by flooding and related hazards.

Abstract

This community service article reports a post-disaster recovery program conducted in Rancong Village, Kuta Blang District, Bireuen Regency, Aceh, following a hydrometeorological flood that disrupted clean water access, environmental sanitation, public facilities, and children’s psychosocial well-being. The program aimed to support community recovery through an integrated and participatory approach. The activity was implemented for 20 days, from 2 to 21 February 2026, involving university students, field supervisors, village authorities, and local residents through a service-learning method. The main intervention focused on installing a clean water filtration system, while supporting activities included cleaning flood-affected houses, restoring religious and public facilities, clearing drainage channels and roads, introducing a low-smoke rocket stove for household waste management, and conducting educational and recreational activities for children. The results show that the program improved access to cleaner water, restored environmental and communal functions, strengthened community participation, and created a more positive post-disaster social atmosphere.
