Abstract

Earthquakes and tsunamis are natural disasters that can occur anywhere and anytime. Knowledge about the dangers of natural disasters needs to be imparted to the community so that they can understand the types and levels of danger that may arise. This is necessary to enhance the community's capacity to deal with disasters. Reflecting on the occurrence of the 2004 Aceh Earthquake and Tsunami, which claimed hundreds of thousands of lives and caused hundreds of millions of US dollars in losses, increasing knowledge and understanding of disaster hazards needs to be continuously pursued. The repetition of these activities aligns the history of disaster events passed down through generations with the advancements in scientific knowledge and technological progress. Increasing knowledge of earthquake and tsunami hazards can be achieved, in part, through socialization efforts. One appropriate segment of society to receive reinforcement of knowledge through socialization activities is high school students, particularly the students of SMAN 1 Lhoknga, Aceh Besar Regency. Students are the younger generation whose roles can be agents of change within the wider community. Therefore, their role in the realm of disaster management needs to be supported by a good and competent capacity enhancement. Thus, students of SMAN 1 Lhoknga can understand the factors causing and the impacts arising from earthquake and tsunami disasters and actively participate in such events.

Abstract

Gampong Baro, subdistrict of Mesjid Raya, Aceh Besar was strongly hit by the Indian ocean earthquake and tsunami in 2004. This is mainly due to its location which is situated near the shoreline. Moreover, many villagers of the Gampong Baro lost their lives during that geological hazard. It is well known that earthquake and tsunami may potentially return again in the future, and may cause another great misery. Our earlier, current study shows that many villagers of Gampong Baro are not familiar with the earthquake and tsunami hazards, and they have very little understanding of these geological phenomenon. Therefore, in order to help mitigate this geological hazard, we decided to organize a training about geological hazards mitigation procedures for the villagers of Gampong Baro, Aceh Besar. There are two objectives of this community service, which are: (1) to improve geological knowledge of the villagers of Gampong Baro, Aceh Besar; and (2) to conduct training about geological hazards mitigation procedures. Qualitative analysis, including focus group discussion, interviews, questionnaire, and surveys was carried out during this activity. Our findings show that villagers of Gampong Baro, Aceh Besar are eager to learn about geological knowledge, and have strong commitment to better understand many geological hazard mitigation procedures. They were very happy that we provided this training because they considered it as an important training, considering the potential of many geological hazards that may hit their village.
