Abstract

Banda Aceh was an area hit by earthquake and tsunami. In 2009 the government sought the improvement of preparedness through education sector. This effort has been done by launching the disaster preparedness school program or SSB. This paper aims at investigate the degree of preparedness of school community in encountering the danger of earthquake and tsunami and the factors affected the preparedness. This study used the survey techniques; the sample consisted of students, teachers, and the principals. To analyse the data, independent t-test and linear regression was used. The result shows that the SSB community and non-SSB community have the preparedness in the degree of highly prepared. The independent t-test result shows that there is no significant difference between the SSB community and non-SSB community in their degree of preparedness. The effort to maintain the degree of preparedness can be done by increasing the intensity of preparedness training activity and socialization of the benefit of preparedness at school environment and increasing the role of Geographic teacher in preparedness activity on school community.
