Indonesia is a disaster-prone country. Disaster mitigation requires the role of the community. Schools are one of the strategic elements of the community for the education process related to disaster mitigation goals. The role of schools in disaster mitigation requires synergy between structural and non-structural mitigation. With disaster mitigation, schools can reduce casualties and material losses. Disaster-related education will make school elements more responsive and proactive in dealing with disaster events. Mitigation in the perspective of school resilience requires a core strategy of increasing knowledge, awareness of disasters and reinforcing elements of school resilience. In this study, the status of disaster knowledge and awareness of students in disaster-prone areas was evaluated. The results of this study prove that disaster knowledge of students still needs to be improved in its implementation so that it is not only understood in the cognitive level, but up to the application. Meanwhile, the level of disaster awareness of students from ORID perspectives is still low, thus strengthening of social relations is needed to build the school resilience for succesful disaster mitigation. To build school resilience is determined by the synergy of teachers and students by choosing a variety of strategies. © Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd.
