<![CDATA['Aisyiyah's group empowerment programme in Kedungtuban Sub-district, Blora Regency, was motivated by the high number of fires and the low disaster literacy of the community, especially women. This research aims to increase the community's capacity in fire prevention and management through an educative and participatory approach. The method used was a combination of participatory education and action research, which included socialisation, training, simulation and evaluation. The results of the activities showed a significant increase in participants‘ knowledge, with 85.7% of respondents achieving a post-test score above 130 out of 150. Findings also showed that factors such as age, educational background and intensity of engagement influenced participants’ understanding. The programme not only improved technical preparedness, but also built collective awareness through a community-based approach. Innovations such as the use of digital media and real condition-based simulations are recommended for further programme development. Empowering ‘Aisyiyah groups proved effective as a strategy to strengthen community resilience to fire risk in the domestic environment]]>
