indocorners.com – Sukabumi – University Trisakti students who are members of the KUM-ITT (Independent Business Lecture – Applied Technology) Team of Munjul Village 2026 conducted an earthquake disaster mitigation simulation training activity in Munjul Village, Ciambar District, Sukabumi Regency. This program was held as an effort to increase community knowledge, awareness, and preparedness in facing potential earthquake disasters. The activity involved 20 participants consisting of elementary school children, residents around Ciaripin Elementary School, Munjul Village and BPBD officers of Ciambar District. In the activity, participants received an explanation regarding the causes of earthquakes, the potential dangers that can be caused, and the steps that need to be taken before, during, and after an earthquake occurs. The activity began with disaster material counseling, simulation training during an earthquake and ended with mutual cooperation in making disaster signs at Ciaripin Elementary School, Munjul Village, Ciambar District. This approach is used so that the community not only understands the material theoretically, but is also able to apply it when facing an emergency. The Head of the KUM-ITT Team for Munjul Village 2026, Ester Elizabeth, explained that disaster signs can be made from unused leftover materials. “Making a simple assembly point sign can use cardboard and bamboo. For a better version, the material can use leftover plates and unused poles,” said Ester. The Field Supervisor for KUM-ITT Munjul Village 2026, Faisal Adinegoro, ST, M.Eng. hopes that the disaster mitigation simulation training activity carried out can increase understanding of earthquakes. “Sukabumi Regency is vulnerable to earthquakes because it is close to the Cimandiri Fault and the Sunda Subduction Zone. We hope that with this activity, the community can better recognize and understand earthquakes and what needs to be done when an earthquake occurs, especially for the people of Munjul Village,” said Faisal. Ciambar District BPBD Officer, Dedi Supianto expressed his appreciation for the earthquake disaster mitigation simulation activities carried out by the Munjul Village KUM-ITT Team 2026, as well as the installation of disaster signs at Ciaripin Elementary School. “We would like to thank the University Trisakti Village KUM-ITT Team for carrying out the earthquake mitigation simulation activities and installing disaster signs. The installation of disaster signs will be very beneficial for students and teachers at Ciaripin Elementary School,” said Dedi. In addition to the disaster mitigation program and the installation of disaster signs, the students also carried out a series of other programs in Munjul Village, including: Counseling on the Importance of PAUD: Socializing the importance of early childhood education for the development of children’s character before entering elementary school. Healthy Living Counseling: Counseling on the dangers and prevention of stunting, Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF), and waste management at the household level which was attended by residents of Tegalega Village, Munjul Village. English Training: Enthusiastically participated by children around Ciaripin Elementary School, Munjul Village. Cimunjul Riverside Tourism Development Counseling: Focused on marketing and branding strategies to make this newly established natural tourist attraction more widely known to the public. Ciaripin Early Childhood Education Revitalization: Mutual cooperation in creating thematic murals involving children and villagers along with students. Road Accessibility Improvement: Installation of convex mirrors and repair of solar-powered Public Street Lighting (PJU) as a continuation program of KUM-ITT the previous year. The Head of Munjul Village, Mr. Ujang Aos, expressed his appreciation for the entire series of programs brought by the students. “We would like to thank the University Trisakti students for their dedication and assistance. We hope that all of these programs will be of broad benefit to the residents of Munjul Village and be a blessing for all,” he said. The University Trisakti Village KUM-ITT activity is expected to continue to be a spark for the birth of sustainable collaboration between universities and villages in Ciambar District, especially in promoting economic independence, environmental safety, and community empowerment through an applied technology approach.
