<![CDATA[ABSTRAK Banjir merupakan bencana yang membutuhkan kesiapsiagaan masyarakat, termasuk keterlibatan pemuda dalam memberikan respons awal secara aman dan tepat. Karang Taruna memiliki potensi strategis sebagai kelompok pemuda yang dapat diberdayakan dalam kesiapsiagaan bencana. Kegiatan ini bertujuan meningkatkan pengetahuan dan keterampilan Karang Taruna sebagai Pemuda Siaga Bencana melalui integrasi edukasi Keselamatan dan Kesehatan Kerja, pertolongan pertama, dan simulasi tanggap darurat banjir. Metode: Kegiatan dilaksanakan pada 35 anggota Karang Taruna melalui edukasi, demonstrasi, praktik pertolongan pertama, dan simulasi tanggap darurat banjir. Evaluasi dilakukan menggunakan pre-test dan post-test untuk mengukur pengetahuan serta lembar observasi untuk menilai keterampilan. Analisis data meliputi distribusi frekuensi, persentase, dan uji Wilcoxon Signed-Rank Test. Hasil: Proporsi peserta dengan pengetahuan kategori baik meningkat dari 22,9% menjadi 80,0%. Rerata skor pengetahuan meningkat dari 64,9 menjadi 84,7. Keterampilan peserta juga meningkat pada seluruh komponen, dengan capaian pascapelatihan sebesar 82,9–91,4%. Integrasi edukasi, praktik, dan simulasi tanggap darurat meningkatkan pengetahuan dan keterampilan Karang Taruna dalam kesiapsiagaan menghadapi banjir. Pendekatan ini berpotensi dikembangkan secara berkelanjutan sebagai model pemberdayaan pemuda berbasis masyarakat.

ABSTRACT Floods require community preparedness, including youth involvement in providing safe and appropriate initial responses. Youth organizations have strategic potential to be empowered in disaster preparedness. This activity aimed to improve the knowledge and skills of youth organization members as Disaster-Ready Youth through integrated occupational safety education, first aid training, and flood emergency response simulation. The activity involved 35 youth organization members through education, demonstrations, first aid practice, and flood emergency response simulations. Evaluation was conducted using pre-test and post-test assessments to measure knowledge and an observation checklist to assess skills. Data were analyzed using frequency distribution, percentages, and the Wilcoxon Signed-Rank Test. The proportion of participants with good knowledge increased from 22.9% to 80.0%. The mean knowledge score increased from 64.9 to 84.7. Participants’ skills also improved across all assessed components, with post-intervention achievement ranging from 82.9% to 91.4%. The integration of education, practice, and emergency response simulation improved the knowledge and skills of youth organization members in flood preparedness. This approach could be sustainably developed as a community-based youth empowerment model. Keywords: Flood, Disaster Preparedness, Youth Organization, First Aid, Emergency Response Simulation.]]>
