Abstract

The disaster-resilient community assistance program in Pontolo Village, Mananggu District, Boalemo Regency, was carried out to improve community knowledge and preparedness in dealing with natural disasters, particularly floods. Based on field observations and surveys, Pontolo Village is a flood-prone area due to high rainfall and its geographical conditions. Several problems were identified, including improper waste management, low community awareness of environmental cleanliness and drainage maintenance, and inadequate water dams and embankments. The assistance program consisted of three main activities: disaster mitigation socialization, disaster simulation, and the production of a disaster mitigation simulation video. The activities involved community members and school students through an educational and participatory approach. The results showed that the socialization activity improved participants' understanding of the causes, risks, and appropriate mitigation measures for disasters, while the simulation provided practical experience regarding evacuation procedures and disaster preparedness. The simulation video also served as a sustainable educational medium that could be reused by the community to improve their knowledge and preparedness. Therefore, this community assistance program contributed to improving the awareness and preparedness of the people of Pontolo Village and supported the development of a more disaster-resilient community.
