This study aims at identifying difference in physical fitness level between students in disaster-safe school in Bantul and in Balikpapan, Indonesia. This study is a quantitative descriptive study that adopted a comparative method. Data were collected through tests and measurement. Population of the study was all upper-grade students (105 students) of State Madrassa Ibtidaiyah (MI Negeri) 2 Bantul and all upper-grade students (102 students) of State Primary School (SD Negeri) 003 Balikpapan. Samples were selected using a purposive sampling technique with as many as 65 students of MI Negeri 2 Bantul and 87 students of SD Negeri 003 Balikpapan involved. Instrument of the study was the Indonesian Physical Fitness Test (TKJI) for children aged 10-12 years. Data were analyzed using a 2-sample t-test preceded by normality and homoscedasticity tests. Results indicate significant difference in physical fitness level between upper-grade students at MI Negeri 2 Bantul disaster-safe school and those at SD Negeri 003 Balikpapan. The t-test generated a t-value of 7.664 and t-distribution of 1.655 (df 150;5%) with significance level (p) of 0.000. With t-value being greater than t-distribution (7.664 > 1.655) and p-value being less than 0.05 (0.000 < 0.05), it is clear that physical fitness level of students in both schools differs significantly. It can also be concluded that physical fitness of students in Bantul (a mean of 12.40) is higher than that of students in Balikpapan (a mean of 9.93). Hence, it can be said that students in Bantul are more physically prepared for disaster than students in Balikpapan. © 2021 Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd.
