Why Disaster Education for Children Matters
In disaster-prone regions, children are often the most vulnerable during emergencies. Traditional learning methods such as textbooks and drills can feel abstract or even intimidating, making it difficult for young learners to absorb crucial preparedness skills.
PAMABA was created to bridge this gap — making disaster education interactive, fun, and meaningful for children.
What Is PAMABA?
PAMABA, short for Palu Aman Bencana, is a child-friendly web and mobile application that delivers earthquake disaster mitigation education in an engaging and age-appropriate way.
“Palu” represents the city in Central Sulawesi, a region frequently affected by earthquakes.
“Aman” means safe, reflecting the app’s mission to create a sense of security.
“Bencana” means disaster, underscoring its educational focus.
Together, PAMABA provides a memorable, localized, and context-driven learning experience for children in disaster-prone areas.
