Abstract: This study aims to explain the importance of disaster education for schoolchildren in disaster-prone areas. Disaster education is intended to provide the earliest possible knowledge in the learning process to develop sensitivity to disasters. Padang as one of the areas with high risk of earthquakes and tsunamis certainly has various approaches to disaster mitigation and preparedness. Disaster education in schools as one of the approaches is expected to produce disaster-resilient schoolchildren who are more responsive and alert to disasters. This study applies qualitative descriptive. The informants are selected purposively. The data are obtained through observation, interviews, and document study. The findings indicate that disaster education in schools in Padang is carried out through three approaches, namely integration into school subjects, extracurricular activities, and local content subject. However, in reality, not all schools have carried out these activities. Thus, it is expected that disaster education is integrated into the school curriculum as a local content subject.
