<![CDATA[The school's disaster response extracurricular program is a form of community service that focuses on improving disaster preparedness, knowledge, and mitigation skills within the school environment. This program utilizes the ASIK (Active, Alert, Innovative, and Creative) method, designed to optimize students' roles not only as participants but also as agents of change in minimizing the risks and impacts of disasters. Through various structured activities, students are encouraged to be actively involved, remain alert and vigilant, dare to develop innovative ideas, and be creative in creating solutions based on local wisdom and school potential. This program prioritizes a peer group approach, where students are trained to collaborate, share information, and support each other in various activities such as preparedness training, disaster management simulations, group discussions, and the creation of creative projects related to disasters. The peer group approach has been proven to strengthen solidarity and empathy among students, improve understanding of the material through peer learning, and foster self-confidence in dealing with emergency situations. Thus, students do not merely receive information passively but also play a key role in driving change in the culture of disaster response within the school. During the program's implementation, various challenges emerged, such as varying levels of understanding among students and limited resources. However, through the application of the ASIK method, which emphasizes active participation and adapting learning strategies, these challenges were gradually overcome. Innovations in activities, such as the creation of technology-based educational media and the use of educational games, were also part of efforts to increase the program's effectiveness. Regular evaluations were conducted to ensure learning outcomes met targets and to address any deficiencies identified during implementation. The program's results demonstrated an increase in students' knowledge, skills, and attitudes toward disaster preparedness. The school community became more proactive in planning and mitigating disaster risks, and communication networks within the school community strengthened. Furthermore, a culture of mutual care was fostered, along with ongoing efforts to maintain a safe and comfortable learning environment. This extracurricular program, based on the ASIK method and through peer group activities, is expected to be replicated in other schools as a model for strengthening community capacity to respond to disasters independently and sustainably]]>
