Indonesia is a country that has a very high level of vulnerability to natural disasters. Its geographical location in the Pacific Ring of Fire makes Indonesia prone to various types of disasters such as earthquakes, tsunamis, floods, landslides, and others. One of the areas in Indonesia, precisely in Gorontalo, which has a fairly high potential for disaster risk is in Bonepantai District, including Bilungala Village, which is one of the villages in the area. One program that can be a solution is the Disaster Resilient Village (DESTANA), which is a program of KKN MBKM Students of Gorontalo State University together with the Regional Disaster Management Agency (BPBD).
