Abstract

This study aims to identify the strategies of the Garut Regional Disaster Management Agency (BPBD) in enhancing disaster education and building a disaster-responsive community. The research method employs a descriptive qualitative approach, with data collection techniques including in-depth interviews, document analysis, and a review of relevant literature. The findings reveal that BPBD of Garut Regency has implemented various strategies, including the establishment of Disaster-Resilient Subdistricts and Villages, the implementation of the Disaster-Safe Education Unit (SPAB) program, the application of the collaborative Penta-Helix approach, and plans to involve universities through thematic Community Service Programs (KKN). The effectiveness of these strategies is evident from the increased community participation in disaster risk reduction forums, the involvement of village volunteers, and the strengthening of school preparedness capacity. The main findings of the study demonstrate that BPBD programs have directly contributed to the reduction of disaster risk levels in Garut Regency, as reflected in the shift in the disaster risk ranking from 36th to 202nd at the district/city level. Therefore, the educational and collaborative strategies of BPBD have proven effective in strengthening the resilience of the Garut community against disaster threats.
