INCREASING COMMUNITY PREPAREDNESS IN FACING POTENTIAL EARTHQUAKE AND TSUNAMI HAZARDS THROUGH THE SIGAPTSUNAMI.ID

Abstract

Increasing preparedness to face potential earthquake and tsunami hazards is an important effort in protecting the community from the potential impacts of these disasters. This paper describes community outreach activities which are a form of collaboration between communication and art and design, which aims to improve the preparedness of the people of Panggarangan Village in particular, and the coastal area of Banten in general, in facing the potential danger of earthquakes and tsunamis in their area. The method used in this activity begins with identifying problems in the target area, making animated videos of tsunami preparedness, developing sigaptsunami.id pages, training volunteers for information management, and door-to-door socialization to the community. The result of this activity is the existence of a disaster preparedness information center that can be accessed in real time and continuously updated to foster sustainable community preparedness.
