The efforts made by the school to improve the preparedness of students of SMP Negeri 2 Pakem students include the provision of disaster socialization and simulation every year, the integration of disaster preparedness materials into the curriculum of learning, the school's provision of facilities related to the disaster preparedness school and an MoU between SMP Negeri 2 Pakem and SMP Negeri 2 Ngaglik as a buffer school during the Mount Merapi eruption .
The school's constraints in improving preparedness are, among others, that not all materials can be integrated with the implementation of the disaster preparedness school, simulation and socialization conducted only once a year are considered not maximal enough, and there is a student shift every year.
Introduction A natural disaster is an event that occurs in nature that can have a significant impact on the human population.
Natural events can be floods, volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, tsunamis, landslides, snowstorms, heat waves, tropical storms, and so on (Bramasta & Irawan, 2.
Indonesia is an archipelagic country prone to disasters because it is located where active tectonic plates meet, often referred to as the Ring of Fire.
This causes Indonesia to have 127 active volcanoes or around 13% of the active volcanoes worldwide.
The large number of active mountains is inseparable from the existence of Indonesia, which is in the fault zone of the world's significant plates, namely the Indo-Australian plate, the Asian plate, and the Pacific plate (Wibowo, 2017.
Bramasta & Irawan, 2.
This volcanic disaster can threaten and disrupt people's life activities and disrupt people's livelihoods caused by natural or non-natural factors, which can result in loss of life, environmental damage, loss of property, and psychological damage to people (Jannah et , 2023.
Sudrajat & Kumalawati, 2.
All volcanoes in Indonesia are located on a tectonic path that extends from the islands of Sumatra.
Java.
Nusa Tenggara.
Banda.
Halmahera, and Sangir Talaud, occupy onesixth of the archipelago's land area (Santosa, 2.
One of the islands that has many The student's preparedness A (Raudya SWP & Winda Setyawat.
active volcanoes is Java, which is located just south of the equator between 6A to 9A South Latitude and 105A to 114A East Longitude.
The surface area of Java Island reaches 134,000 kmA.
The Java Island region is very densely populated due to the fertile volcanic soil, which has always attracted the interest of many residents (Wiratmoko, 2017.
Sudrajat et al.
, 2.
One of the active volcanoes on the island of Java is in Central Java and Yogyakarta, namely Mount Merapi.
Mount Merapi is in Central Java Province, and D.
I Yogyakarta is one of the most active mountains in Indonesia.
Mount Merapi is a Strato-type volcano with a height of 2980 meters above sea level.
Geographically, it is located at 7'32.
5' South Latitude and 110'26.
5' East Longitude.
administratively, it is in 4 districts, namely Sleman in Yogyakarta Province.
Magelang.
Boyolali, and Klaten in Central Java Province (BNBP.
Merapi's small eruption cycle occurs every 2-3 years, while significant eruptions occur every 10-15 years.
The eruption of Mount Merapi can endanger the safety of residents where Mount Merapi is located close to residential areas.
In 2010.
Merapi had a catastrophic eruption, the largest eruption in the last 70 years.
The eruption experienced a relatively rapid development of emergency status.
Mount Merapi is still showing activity, which can show changes in its status at any time (Septikasari & Ayriza, 2.
Apart from human casualties, damage and losses due to the Merapi eruption could not be avoided, where as many as 2,163 housing units were damaged in Sleman Regency.
Likewise, public facilities such as auxiliary health centers .
, village health centers .
, community health centers, and hospitals also experienced light, moderate, and severe damage.
Also, many educational facilities and infrastructure were damaged due to the Mount Merapi eruption disaster (Malthuf & Reza, 2.
In Sleman Regency, it was recorded that 14 school buildings were seriously damaged, followed by one building experiencing moderate damage and six school buildings experiencing light Also, six bridges connecting several villages and hamlets experienced severe damage (Dillashandy & Panjaitan, 2.
After the Merapi emergency response period, a damage and loss assessment (DaLA) was carried out to obtain a comprehensive picture of the direct and indirect impacts of the Merapi disaster, especially on building and housing infrastructure.
The DaLA method was first used by the United Nations Economic Commission for Latin America and Carrebian (UNECLAC) to assess post-disaster damage and loss in the region, which was then adopted by Bappenas through Law 24/2007 concerning disaster management which states that the assessment of loss and damage legally become part of the disaster management stages.
Based on DaLA's evaluation, the total loss due to the 2010 Merapi eruption reached Rp.
62 trillion spread across DIY Province Rp.
14 trillion and Central Java Province 1.
48 trillion (Muktaf, 2.
Sleman Regency has sub-districts closest to Mount Merapi's peak, namely Pakem.
Cangkringan, and Turi.
These three sub-districts are areas with dense population.
The high population density in these three sub-districts also influenced the high number of victims of the eruption of Mount Merapi in October 2010 because most of the victims came from these three villages.
Pakem sub-district has a denser population density than the Cangkringan and Turi sub-districts, with a population of 33,261 (Sudradjat et al.

Muktaf, 2017.
Sudrajat & Kumalawati, 2.
During the 2010 Merapi eruption disaster, much of the population of the three sub-districts was designated as a danger zone for the eruption of Mount Merapi, and PVMBG evacuated them to a safer place.
Based on this, so that the public better understands the level of danger of each region, many efforts have been made by the BMKG and the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources, one of which is compiling a map of the Mount Merapi Disaster Prone Area (KRB) as an indication of the level of disaster vulnerability of an area in the event of a volcanic Due to the routine eruption of Mount Merapi and the number of victims, damage, and losses caused, disaster mitigation has begun to be implemented by the National Disaster Management Agency (BNBP) to reduce the risk of disasters for the population by holding Disaster Risk Reduction activities in the form of providing information about disasters.
was information about what happened in the area and simulation process training to save Therefore, providing knowledge about disasters and preparedness from an early age to people who are vulnerable to disasters is very important to avoid or minimize the risk of becoming a victim.
Disaster preparedness education needs to be developed starting at the basic education level to build a culture of safety and resilience, especially for children and the younger generation.
As educational institutions that instill cultural values and knowledge in the younger generation, schools are expected to play an essential role in disaster risk education (Sudrajat & Kumalawati, 2020.
Sudrajat et al.
, 2.
One form of disaster risk reduction is establishing a Disaster Preparedness School (Sekolah Siaga Bencana or SSB).
Sleman Regency implemented SSB after the Merapi eruption disaster in 2010.
SSB can be formed by incorporating DRR material into school subjects, such as disaster material in Social Sciences lessons (Sudrajat et al.
, 2023.
Milhani, 2018.
Sudrajat & Mujadidi, 2.
SMP Negeri 2 Pakem is one of the schools that has been a Disaster Preparedness School since 2010.
The school is in Sawungan.
Sawangan.
Hargobinangun.
Pakem, and Sleman Yogyakarta, including the Merapi Disaster Prone Areas, especially in disaster-prone areas II (KRB II).
The majority of students live in disaster-prone areas.
One of the school's efforts to increase students' preparedness is by providing several outreach and practical activities regarding mitigation and preparedness for the Mount Merapi eruption disaster, which is held once a year.
However, preparedness efforts that are not sustainable or are only carried out for one period will result in the level of preparedness in schools continuing to decline.
The preparedness parameters are vital in disaster preparedness schools because they can help identify potential dangers and reduce risk through prevention and mitigation measures (Lesmana & Purborini, 2015.
Sudrajat & Kumalawati, 2.
The level of disaster preparedness among students at SMP Negeri 2 Pakem was measured using four parameters, including .
knowledge and attitudes towards the Mount Merapi eruption .
emergency response plans for the Mount Merapi eruption disaster.
early warning system for the Mount Merapi eruption disaster.
the ability to mobilize resources against the disaster.

This data can be interpreted as saying that in terms of the ability to mobilize resources against the Mount Merapi eruption disaster, students at SMP Negeri 2 Pakem are in the ready category.
In pie chart form, the data will look like the one below.
Preparedness of Students toward Merapi Eruption The level of disaster preparedness among students at SMP Negeri 2 Pakem is measured using parameters aimed at identifying, measuring, and analyzing elements related to disasters, such as the strength of earthquakes, weather patterns, or the level of vulnerability of an area in order to increase understanding and preparedness in facing potential disaster (Malthuf & Reza, 2.
The parameters used four parameters, which include knowledge and attitudes towards the Mount Merapi eruption disaster, emergency response plans for the Mount Merapi eruption disaster, an early warning system for the Mount Merapi eruption disaster, and the ability to mobilize resources against the eruption disaster of Mount Merapi.
The results of data analysis on the four parameters were then included in the criteria for the preparedness level of students at SMP Negeri 2 Pakem in facing the Mount Merapi eruption disaster.
Based on the results of data analysis, as many as 65.
73% of students at SMP Negeri 2 Pakem had preparedness for the Mount Merapi eruption disaster in the "Ready" The student's preparedness A (Raudya SWP & Winda Setyawat.
category, while students who were in the "Very Ready" category reached 33.
71% and the 56% were in the "Not Ready" category.
These data can be interpreted to mean that although the majority of SMP Negeri 2 Pakem students are in the "Ready" and "Very Ready" categories, there are still students who are in the "Less Ready" category or it could be said that there are still students who have a low level of disaster preparedness.
The results of the data analysis show that students at SMP Negeri 2 Pakem have an average level of preparedness in facing the Mount Merapi eruption disaster 141.
This data can be interpreted as saying that students are in the "Ready" category.
School Efforts to Increase the Preparedness of SMP Negeri 2 Pakem Students in Facing the Mount Merapi Eruption Disaster The influence in improving disaster preparedness for the eruption of Mount Merapi among students at SMP Negeri 2 Pakem is the school's effort to improve students' disaster preparedness.
The government or disaster-related bodies regulate efforts to improve disaster preparedness through various disaster regulations and guidebooks, including Law of the Republic of Indonesia no.
of 2007 concerning disaster management articles 33 and 34 (Rifai, 2.
It is explained that the implementation of disaster management consists of three stages, namely, predisaster, emergency response, and post-disaster.
The pre-disaster stage includes situations where a disaster does not occur and situations where there is the potential for a disaster to occur.
The emergency response stage covers the situation when a disaster occurs, and the post-disaster stage includes efforts immediately after a disaster.
The National Disaster Management Agency explains that the disaster stages mentioned above should not be understood as a strict division of stages, where activities at a particular stage will end when the next stage begins.
However, it must be consistently understood that all stages are carried out together with different activity portions (Rizkia et al.
, 2.
SMP Negeri 2 Pakem has made various efforts to increase student preparedness by holding annual disaster outreach and simulations.
According to (Oman Abdurrahman, 2.
, disaster outreach efforts will be very effective if done through schools.
Furthermore, disaster preparedness material is included in the learning Article 37 of the 2003 National Education System Law mandates that the primary and secondary education curriculum must contain social studies, which are earth sciences, history, economics, health, and so on, which are intended to develop student's knowledge, understanding, and analytical skills regarding the social conditions of society.
The curriculum is critical to achieving educational goals, including material related to the school's vision and mission.
The curriculum is an overall learning plan that includes subjects, teaching methods, and educational objectives in an educational institution (Lestari & Winanto, 2.
SMP Negeri 2 Pakem has included disaster preparedness material in the curriculum because it is adapted to a school environment prone to disasters.
SMP Negeri 2 Pakem also provides facilities related to the Disaster Preparedness School, such as disaster risk maps, posters related to disaster preparedness, evacuation route instructions, a health unit, medicine, disaster warning tools, and a field as a gathering point.
These efforts are in line with Perka BNBP Number JIPSINDO (Jurnal Pendidikan Ilmu Pengetahuan Indonesi.

, which explains that schools safe from disasters are schools that implement standard facilities and infrastructure as well as culture that can protect school residents and the surrounding environment from the dangers of disasters (Lesmana & Purborini, 2.
There is a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between SMP Negeri 2 Pakem and SMP N 2 Ngaglik as a buffer school when the Mount Merapi eruption disaster occurs.
Obstacle for disaster education Disaster preparedness is the steps taken to minimize risks, plan responses, and recover from the impacts of natural disasters or other emergency events.
There are several obstacles in implementing disaster preparedness for students at SMP Negeri 2 Pakem, including not all materials can be integrated with the implementation of disaster preparedness schools, simulations, and socialization, which are only carried out once a year are felt to be less than optimal and students change every year.
With the change of new students, schools must start from zero to re-provide materials and training for new The inhibiting factors are the turnover of new students, which must be responded to with much better preparation.
there are many school activities, so simulations and socialization are less than optimal, and not all material can be integrated with disaster So, what needs to be improved by schools include first, factors that lie in implementing personnel .
rincipals, teachers, employee.
, namely those related to the level of experience, commitment, motivation, performance, self-confidence, and cooperation ability of the school community.
Second, factors in implementing an organizational system are related to the authority of each role, as well as monitoring and Disaster preparedness is very important to apply to students because they are an integral part of society.
This training increases awareness of disaster risks and equips them with the skills and knowledge necessary to act quickly and effectively in emergencies, protecting themselves and others (Sasmito & Ns, 2.
In addition, involving students in disaster preparedness efforts can create a sustainable safety culture in the school environment and at home (Rahmat et al.
, 2.
Overall, the efforts made by SMP Negeri 2 Pakem to increase students' preparedness have been quite good in their implementation, as proven by the results of students' preparedness in the "Ready" category when facing the Mount Merapi eruption According to the Regulation of the Head of the National Disaster Management Agency Number 04 of 2012 (Angraini et al.
, 2.
, the formation of preparedness for students, both male and female, in schools/madrasahs is greatly influenced by the condition of educators and education personnel, infrastructure, facilities, management and financing.
who is responsible, especially in the learning process experienced by So even though they are quite good at supporting and facilitating students, schools, and teachers need to continue to carry out evaluations so that the preparedness of all school residents, especially students, can always improve well.
