The potential for earthquakes, floods, tornadoes in the city of Yogyakarta needs to be addressed with a training and simulation as an effort to mitigate disasters in schools, especially for primary school age children who are vulnerable to disasters and among them are the most vulnerable groups, namely children with needs specifically. Children with special needs has the same rights as other children to know about how to protect and save themselves when a disaster strikes. Some of them have mobility barriers to protect themselves and even save themselves. Then it is necessary to have information on the procedures / plans for rescue for children with special needs in the face of disaster. The training and simulation in this activity aims to: (1) equip students and teachers with knowledge about the potential for earthquake disasters, floods, tornadoes related to the condition of the area at the school location; (2) equip students and teachers with knowledge about knowledge and attitudes facing disasters; (3) providing knowledge of students and teachers about the importance of protecting the environment to prevent disasters; (4) providing alternative efforts for earthquake disaster mitigation, flooding, multisensory based tornadoes; and (5) train teachers to be able to provide disaster mitigation assistance to students, especially children with special needs. This training was conducted by lecturing, question and answer, and demonstration methods. The lecture and question and answer method was conducted to provide students with an understanding of knowledge and attitudes facing earthquakes, floods and tornadoes, and socialization to explain the importance of environmental sustainability in order to prevent natural disasters, as well as socialization of geographic information related to potential disasters in the city of Yogyakarta , and multisensory based concept of earthquake disaster mitigation, floods and tornadoes. Demonstration methods for carrying out multisensory based earthquake disaster mitigation, flood, and tornado simulations. The targets in this are SD Karaganyar and SDN Minggiran. The two elementary schools are inclusive elementary schools in the city of Yogyakarta. Based on observations at SDN Karanganyar and SDN Minggiran, there were ABK students who did not understand how to protect and save themselves when a disaster strikes. Therefore, disaster mitigation training is needed to improve the ability to face multisensory-based disaster threats. The training was conducted from February 2018 to October 2018. Through training in capacity building in the face of multisensory-based disaster threats, it is expected to increase the ability of children with special needs to face the threat of disasters. This training leads to the realization of disaster preparedness inclusive schools.
