<![CDATA[Public knowledge regarding first aid in emergency situations remains low, including in school settings. Teachers and students often lack basic skills in managing emergencies such as cardiac arrest, fainting, choking, or bone fractures. This community service program aimed to improve the knowledge and skills of teachers and students at Alfityan School Kubu Raya through education, socialization, and demonstrations of Basic Life Support (BLS) and First Aid for Emergencies (PPGD). The activity employed a participatory approach through lectures, discussions, and hands-on demonstrations. A total of 35 students participated. Evaluation was carried out using pre-test and post-test questionnaires to assess changes in participants’ knowledge. The average knowledge score increased from 60.8 to 79.3 after the training. Statistical analysis showed a significant improvement (p<0.05). Participants demonstrated enhanced practical skills in performing CPR, Heimlich maneuver, and immobilization of fractures. Educational and demonstration activities on PPGD effectively improved participants’ knowledge and skills in providing first aid for emergencies. Continuous training and integration of PPGD programs into school curricula are recommended to strengthen preparedness for disasters and medical emergencies]]>
