Abstract
Indonesia is among the countries with the highest disaster risk due to its location at the convergence of four major tectonic plates in the Pacific Ring of Fire. Karo Regency, North Sumatra, is highly vulnerable to the eruption of Mount Sinabung, which has significantly affected the education sector. This study aims to develop a disaster preparedness information system for schools using Survey123 and WebGIS to support the School Disaster Preparedness (SSB) program. The research employed a quantitative descriptive method, collecting data through digital questionnaires with Survey123 linked to the spatial coordinates of each school. The data were analyzed descriptively and visualized in WebGIS using ArcGIS Online. Results show that most schools have clear evacuation routes (±82%) and preparedness improvement plans (±92%), but lack specific budgets (±7%), rescue facilities (±21%), and early warning systems (±14%). The integration of Survey123 and WebGIS effectively facilitates preparedness mapping, identifies vulnerabilities, and supports data-driven decision-making. This model has the potential to enhance disaster risk management in schools, though sustained funding, regular data updates, and human resource capacity building are still required.
