The results of identification in education for the community and considered quite effectively carried out until now are Wayang Botol and religious activities through Friday sermons. These two educational media can be filled with knowledge about community preparedness and other materials that are beneficial to the wider community. In addition, the next session continued by developing a PEM management strategy by inviting the parties present to plan disaster risk reduction-based activities.
