Children need to get more attention and protection on disaster. For the youngster, awareness and understanding raising would be much easier to be done through game or other non formal approaches. RW 04, Cipinang Besar Utara is flood prone area. SDI Nurul Yaqin is located in this area. On February 2007 flood this school should postpone their activity for about 3 weeks due to the flood inundated their area up to 180cm high. The physical condition of the school was very modest. It only has 3 classrooms and one office located next to the classroom. This school receives students from low income family as well as orphan transferred from other areas.
Through this activity, it is expected to increase the understanding on teacher as well as students on flood preparedness, and to be able to disseminate flood preparedness message to the community. Approximate 100 students were participated. They come from 1st grade to 6th grade.
The event took place at SDI Nurul Yaqin, on May 10th 2007, 9am to 11am. A movie was played. Students were gathered in one big room. Opening session was filled with introduction and opening question related to flood. It is after that the movie was played. Children pay full attention on the movie. After the movie ended, facilitator raises question related to the content of the movie. Most student answer these questions were from 4th – 6th grade.
