Abstract: The Significance of
Disaster Mitigation Education in Reducing Disaster Risks. More than 60% of the
areas in our country are threatened by earthquakes, besides tsunamis, volcano
eruptions, floods, landslides, forest fires, and biodiversity degradation. This
article focuses on the mitigation of such natural disasters, especially
earthquakes, tsunamis, and volcanic eruption, through the Disaster Risk
Reduction (DRR) program. Up to now, there has been no technology capable of
accurately predicting when earthquakes and tsunamis will occur. One effective
action to anticipate them is through sustainable education and training
programs for children, youths, and adults. The goals of the programs are to
provide them with self-help to save their lives, encourage them to participate
in the programs, and make the adults initiators in the disaster management.
Thus the curriculum should be designed for learning and training to implement
the DRR program and should include local wisdom.
