Expectant mothers are vulnerable to health risks during disasters such as disruption of clean water, exposure to inadequate environmental sanitation, and limited access to safe food. Padang is located on a volcanic plateau which is prone to disasters. This study aimed to develop expectant pregnant mothers on education-based nutritional education for expectant mothers in disaster situations in Padang. This study used a quasi-experimental design conducted in April-November 2019, with a sample of 100 expectant mothers, who were selected by random sampling and divided into four groups of treatments (PowerPoint, Android, website, and Android-website combination). Data were collected through interviews and questionnaires and analyzed using Wilcoxon and Kruskal-Wallis tests. Edutainment-based nutritional education has been developed based on the needs of expectant mothers in disaster situations. The results showed changes in knowledge in all groups (p<0,05), while changes in attitudes occurred in Groups B and C (p<0,05) and changes in practices occurred in Groups A and C (p<0,05) after the intervention. In conclusion, Treatment C had a significant impact on knowledge, attitudes, and practices.
