Three significant disasters, i.e., natural, non-natural, and social disaster, hit Indonesia every year causing material loss and victims. Therefore the government introduced a program, named safety school for disasters. This program is implemented in all provinces and regencies in Indonesia. The objectives of this research were to evaluate the effectiveness of the implementation of the School-based Disaster Risk Reduction program. The training program includes seven subjects, (1) Disaster potentials in Indonesia (earthquake, tsunami, flood, eruption of volcano, landslide, and typhoon), (2) First aid, (3) Arranging evacuation routes for School, (4) Arranging evacuation signs, (5) Early warning systems, (6) Composing scenario of simulation, (7) Simulations/drills. In measuring the effectiveness of the program, this research used four levels of the Kirkpatrick evaluation model: reaction, learning, behaviour and results. The results show that students are interested in disaster mitigation activities. However, the training was not supported by school teachers and principals. © 2020, Primrose Hall Publishing Group.
