Various sectors experienced losses as a result of the disaster. Education is one sector that is badly affected by disasters, especially when disasters occur during school hours. Students, who are the country's future assets, are the biggest victims. In addition, accidents can cause damage to the learning process, school documents, and school facilities. For this reason, disaster risk reduction management must be in place. One way to do this is by providing education about disaster risk reduction. This research uses a qualitative approach, which means describing and explaining what schools are doing to reduce disaster risk by implementing a disaster-safe education unit program. Steps to describe and explain data by referring to expert opinions. This study shows that the Disaster Safe Education Unit (SPAB) program is very important to implement in schools because it can increase the school community's understanding of matters related to disasters. It is hoped that the implementation of the SPAB program will enable schools to remain safe and comfortable and increase students' understanding of how to deal with disasters

Flood disasters are the third cause of economic loss of all natural disasters throughout the world. Jakarta, as a waterfront city, is often hit by floods every year, especially during the rainy season. This research is focused on identifying and analyzing community responses and their relationship with their knowledge, preparedness and level of action towards disasters. This research is an exploratory case study research based on primary and secondary data. Research findings show that people in coastal areas have a high level of knowledge about floods (64%). This knowledge is high relative to the sum of their past experiences; However, they are less prepared (43%) because most of the residents are fishermen with low incomes so they don't have to make much effort to adapt to flood-affected houses. On the other hand, people in the interior, they lack knowledge (18%), but they have a good level of preparedness (24%) because of their relatively high-income level. Furthermore, both communities in coastal and inland areas had a high level of action due to high levels of knowledge and experience for coastal residents and good preparedness for inland residents.

The West Sumatra Provincial Government began to improve the development of the plantation sector of mangosteen, because the mangosteen plant became a superior commodity in the Province of West Sumatra. In this regard, it is important to know the climate suitability of the mangosteen plant and its projections, which will be used to take development planning steps in the appropriate area and support the increase in exports of mangosteen plants in West Sumatra Province to support national resilience in the face of climate change. The data used were monthly rainfall observation data and monthly air temperature for the period 2006-2015 at 46 rain posts in West Sumatra Province. The Minangkabau Meteorological Station is used as a reference station for monthly air temperatures estimation in 45 other rain posts which were calculated using the Braak method. Besides, land physical data such as soil texture and slope were used in each district in West Sumatra Province. Projected data used the Representative Concentration Pathways (RCP) 4.5 scenario model for monthly air temperature and monthly rainfall from the Model for Interdisciplinary Research on Climate (MIROC5) model with resolutions up to 20 x 20 km in the period 2006-2040. The projection data was divided into the baseline period for 2006-2015 and the projection period of 2031-2040. The climate suitability period was made for the present period 2006-2015 and the future projections for the period 2031- 2040. The results showed that the area of West Sumatra Province for the Very Appropriate category (S1) was decreasing in the projection period of 2031-2040 compared to the 2006-2015 baseline period. This can be seen in the projection period of the Very Appropriate category (S1), the area was reduced to 2,584,234 ha (72%) while in the baseline period the Very Corresponding category (S1) reached 2,811,321 ha (78%).

The insights gleaned may inform future electoral strategies and enhance the effective ess of intelligence-led initiatives in safeguarding democratic processes from the destabilizing forces of social conflict. Ultimately, this study underscores the imperative for a holistic and collaborative approach in harnessing the power of intelligence to foster resilient and peaceful democratic societies.

Disaster management is one of the government's efforts to protect the community from disaster hazards. For this reason, in terms of disaster management that has occurred in disaster-prone areas so far. The role of the local government bureaucracy is often less relevant between the rules and the implementation that occurs in the field. As a result, there is a clash between the interests of the community, inter-regional interests, and inter-agency interests, so the role of the local government bureaucracy becomes less optimal and less effective, which has an impact on not paying attention to public awareness to be independent in dealing with natural disasters. The purpose of this research is to describe conceptual disaster management and regional policy analysis. The method used is a qualitative method with a descriptive approach through literature study. Based on the results of the research, it can be understood that a Disaster Management System is an integrated disaster management implementation system covering aspects of legislationregulation, planning, institutional and funding, as well as the implementation of disaster relief. The conceptual disaster management that needs to be strengthened for the disaster management system includes Pre-Disaster, Emergency Response, and Post-Disaster. Thus, in analyzing the policy there are interconnected factors between one another and their implementation in the field must go hand in hand. Improve institutional and community readiness in preventing, facing, and overcoming natural disasters that will occur, (prioritizing disaster risk reduction as a national priority with strong institutions, identifying, assessing, monitoring disasters and implementing early warning systems, and disaster management and increasing disaster preparedness.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the educative learning model and examine its implementation efforts to increase children's preparedness for the Covid-19 pandemic in order to support national resilience. The research method used is a case study qualitative method supported by data that has been obtained from observations, interviews and document studies, then analyzed, and the findings are obtained. The results of this study are that educative learning is known to be one of the tools that can increase children's preparedness in dealing with the Covid-19 pandemic. The Sahabat Anak Foundation is able to take appropriate actions to respond to the Covid-19 pandemic situation as a national disaster. Educational learning initiated by the Sahabat Anak Foundation is an activity that can help children in the process of adaptation, entertainment and learning in dealing with the Covid-19 pandemic. The results of this study can be used as material for further research with the latest data so that it is more comprehensive.

The capacity of the Government of Indonesia is urgently needed in dealing with contemporary disasters, especially during the Covid-19 pandemic. The impact of disasters will disrupt community resilience where if the government in its capacity as a policy maker, especially when large-scale natural disasters occur, is not immediately resolved, it will greatly affect national security. This study uses a qualitative method with a descriptive exploratory approach. Data collection by observation, in-depth interviews and documentation. Data analysis technique with qualitative data analysis techniques Miles and Huberman. The research results found that it is important to formulate and oversee disaster management and mitigation programs in the RPJMN every 5 years (2020-2024). The Indonesian government must establish cooperation with Japan, which has already implemented various effective policies in disaster risk management. The conclusion from this study is that capacity building efforts that should be carried out by the Government of Indonesia to anticipate and cope with contemporary disasters are the need to use technology in disaster management, disaster education for the community, and realizing community regeneration/resilience. Increasing government capacity during the Covid-19 pandemic can be carried out by following the direct example of Japan's success in disaster management so that national security is maintained.

Lumajang Regency has many educational units located in the Semeru eruption disaster risk area. Candipuro High School is a school located in the area of disaster risk III for the eruption of Mount Semeru. Candipuro District does not yet have a disaster-safe education unit. Disaster education in educational units is important to do to improve the capabilities of educational units. This study aims to analyze the implementation of disaster safety education and capacity building at Candipuro High School in mitigating the Mount Semeru eruption disaster. This research method uses quasi-qualitative. Data collection is done by way of interviews, observation and documentation. The results of the study showed that: (1) The implementation of disaster-safe education at Candipuro High School has fulfilled the existing pillars such as safe school facilities, school disaster management, disaster prevention and risk reduction education, but there are still some deficiencies in school disaster management, (2 ) School capacity building is carried out through several programs such as the implementation of disaster-safe education units and participation in disaster response student organizations. The conclusion of this study is that the implementation of disaster-safe education is embodied in disaster safe education unit. In its implementation there are still some shortcomings such as school disaster management that is not good. For capacity building of the five stages, only four stages have been properly fulfilled. In the fifth stage, the evaluation is not yet running. Several dimensions of capacity have emerged such as human resource management, fair participation, program sustainability, partnerships, learning organizations.

In 2018, a natural disaster occurred in Palu, Central Sulawesi which caused losses both in the number of victims and damage to infrastructure. Natural disasters that occurred in the city of Palu occurred in three types of disasters, namely, earthquakes, tsunamis and liquefaction. The TNI as a form of implementing OMSP TNI, is responsible for being involved in disaster management efforts, together with BNPB. One of the implementing elements of the TNI in carrying out natural disaster management operations is the PRCPB TNI. However, there are still several things that need to be optimized and coordinated from the synergy between the two institutions, namely optimizing the synergy with other ministries/agencies and agencies, the composition of the troops, and the limited facilities and infrastructure. The theory used in analyzing these problems is the theory of synergy, theory of disaster management, role theory, theory of state defense and theory of TNI involvement in Disaster Management. With descriptive qualitative research method, research data were collected through in-depth interviews and documentation studies. Based on the results of the study, the disaster that hit Palu city and several other areas of Central Sulawesi showed that local government authorities also did not fully understand the flow and procedures for dealing with disasters quickly. When a disaster occurs, both the government and the community are not prepared. The government through the BNBP, BPBD, and TNI sent aid personnel in the context of disaster management in Palu City in 2018. In particular, the TNI through PRCPB, several units have sent troops to carry out humanitarian missions according to the mandate of Law Number 3 of 2002 concerning National Defense and Law Number 34 of 2004 about the Indonesian National Army. The synergy between the TNI and various parties from BNPB, BPBD, and the Regional Government in Palu City is going well. However, overlapping tasks in the field, sectoral egos still often occur. The synergy model between the TNI and BNPB is to establish a disaster center so that gaps and problems of command, cooperation, communication and coordination and other problems can be overcome.

The importance of strengthening non-military defense capabilities in the province of Bali as a result of the threat of the Covid-19 virus is motivated by the importance of maintaining national defense from various non-military threats, such as ideological, political, economic, socio-cultural threats, terrorism, drugs and public safety such as the spread of the Covid-19 virus.. The spread of the Covid-19 pandemic in the province of Bali is still high where as of June 9, 2021, it was recorded that the cumulative number of cases was 47,581 people, 45,630 people recovered (95.90%), and 1,514 people died (3.18%), 437 active cases. people (0.92%), with the highest number of sufferers in Denpasar City with an accumulation of 15,032 sufferers. The spread of the Covid-19 virus in Bali has reduced economic growth and people's income in the tourism aspect. From these conditions, questions can be drawn about how the level of non-military Defense capability is to deal with the threat of the Covid-19 virus, alternative priorities and strategies for strengthening non-military Defense capabilities. By using quantitative research methods on non-military defense capabilities in policy/regulatory aspects (3.6), early awareness (3.9), state defense (3.9), technological capability (3.7) and budgetary support (3.5). To support the strengthening of non-military defense capabilities, it is necessary to formulate appropriate policies and establish non-military threat countermeasures institutions. The strategic step that needs to be taken is to increase the ability to analyze various potential threats in order to provide appropriate data analysis to deal with various potential military threats. As a suggestion, government action is needed to support increased national awareness to prevent risks from non-military threats.
