In an era of information openness and technological advancement, emerging signs and potential risks can be identified and prevented from escalating into disasters. What is needed is a rapid response from all parties to take appropriate corrective action. Disaster management is a shared responsibility, considering the far-reaching impacts of disasters.

The development of disaster preparedness attitudes can be achieved through disaster communication. As a methode, disaster communication strategies that must be implemented comprehensively and extended to all areas classified as disaster-prone. Among the various disaster-prone areas is Rancaekek. This consideration underlies the selection of Jelegong Village, Rancaekek, as the location for the Community Service Program (PkM) conducted by lecturers and students of Ilkom UKRI. As an application of communication science, this Community Service Program aims to foster disaster preparedness among residents of Rancaekek District in responding to various types of disasters that may occur, including potential recurring disasters.
