Capitalizing on Structured Experience on Disasters to Build Disaster Mitigation Awareness Among Muhammadiyah Activists

Abstract

Abstract. This article explains the assistance provided to the Head of the Muhammadiyah Branch (PRM), Kadirojo, in mitigating natural and social disasters. The issue of disaster mitigation is one of the important variables in the process of reducing the number of disaster risks that are likely to occur. This includes the potential megathrust disaster in the southern part of the Java Sea, where the position of Palbapang village is within a radius of 7 km from the southern coast of Java. This step will be managed using an androgy approach, which explores the structured experience of the Kadirojo community related to disaster problems such as fires, earthquakes, infectious diseases, and social disaster problems. Meanwhile, the pedogogic approach is used to socialize the Kadirojo PRM management from a number of disaster mitigation experiences from communities outside Palbapang village and abroad. Focus Group Discussion and training will be carried out systematically in order to change the perspective of the community productively. According to the findings of this article, Muhammadiyah Kadirojo's Islamic teachings have not yet institutionalized disaster literacy, so it is still necessary to spread the message about it in order for it to become ingrained in people's minds.
