<![CDATA[This study developed and evaluated a contextualized Powtoon-based animation video to support secondary students’ comprehension of flood disaster mitigation in a lowland school environment. The study addresses a specific instructional problem: conventional geography materials often present the disaster management cycle as static and fragmented, making it difficult for students to connect hazard processes, local vulnerability, and mitigation actions. A Research and Development (R&D) design was implemented through the five-stage ADDIE framework, Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation. The product was refined through expert validation, teacher feedback, student response questionnaires, and a one-group pre-test/post-test pre-experimental design involving 34 grade XI students at SMAN 1 Sooko, Mojokerto. Material expert validation reached 81%, indicating that the content accurately represented the disaster management cycle and flood-risk concepts, while media expert validation reached 85%, indicating strong visual, technical, and instructional quality. Student comprehension increased from a pre-test mean of 61.09 to a post-test mean of 85.62, with a normalized gain (N-gain) of 0.63, placing the intervention in the medium-effectiveness category. These results suggest that localized animation can reduce conceptual abstraction by visualizing flood hazards, vulnerability, capacity, and mitigation stages as interconnected spatial-temporal processes. The study contributes a place-based digital media development procedure for geography education and offers practical guidance for teachers seeking to strengthen disaster mitigation literacy through accessible, multimodal learning resources.]]>
