Schools are institutions where knowledge and skills are shared; therefore, expectations for schools as role models for disaster prevention are high. The purpose of the study was to develop learning media in the form of educational game which concerns on disaster preparedness. The method used in the development of educational games is referred to Borg and Gall’s development model. The development of the learning media is in form of an educational game called LUSIANA (Ludo- SiagaBencana). Data collection were carried out by doing observations, conducting interviews, and distributing questionnaires. Research respondents consisted of material experts, learning media experts, social studies teachers, and students. Data analysis used descriptive statistical analysis with percentages. The results showed that the LUSIANA educational game is very feasible to be used by the students. Key words: Disaster risk, Educational game, Development model Introduction Natural disasters are one of the natural phenomena that threaten human survival. Disasters can occur anytime, anywhere, and to anyone. The negative impacts can be in the form of material and non-ma- terial losses.Based on the disaster statistics from the Indonesian Disaster Information Data (DIBI) from January to September 2020, there have been 2,178 natural disasters with 628,568 people affected in In- donesia (Kemenpppa, 2020). Badan Nasional Penanggulangan Bencana (BNPB) –the natural di- sasters management agency-noted that there were 197 disasters occurred throughout Indonesia from 1 to 23 January 2021 (News, 2021). The majority of these disasters are hydro meteorological disasters- disasters that occur as a result of meteorological or natural phenomena. Floods dominated by causing 134 incidents, followed by landslides with 31 inci- dents, and tornadoes with 24 incidents. Children are considered as one of the most vulnarable group of being affected by disasters. Children constitute the largest segment of the population of developing countries and are often the first victims of disasters. They are often the biggest victims in every disaster because of their inability to protect themselves and are beyond the control of their parents (Siregar and Wibowo, 2019). For children, the impact of disasters is seen as more worrying hence, in Law Number 24 of 2007 concerning Disaster Management, children are grouped in the vulnerable category (Pahleviannur, 2019). Children’s vulnerability to disasters is trig- gered by the limited understanding of the risks around them, which results in the lack of prepared- ness in dealing with disasters. This shows the im- portance of knowledge about disasters and disaster risk reduction from an early age to provide under- DOI No.: http://doi.org/10.53550/EEC.2022.v28i02.001
