Abstract
Information related to earthquake disaster mitigation currently spread in various media, mostly in the form of text. This makes it difficult for disabilities children with visual impairments to access this information. In fact, people with disabilities and children are the most vulnerable parties to be affected by the disaster. Therefore, this study aims to find alternative solutions to increase knowledge about protection and survival techniques for students with visual impairments. The results obtained were that there were several problems that were successfully mapped, including: being unable to see the text, not proficient in reading braille, limited understanding in reading sentences, unable to see illustrations and demonstrations, lack of understanding of the concept of natural disasters, no experience with earthquakes, do not have visual knowledge about the impact of the earthquake, do not have a natural awareness of disasters. Alternative steps are taken to disseminate disaster mitigation information to students with visual impairments through the making of audiobooks. The activity was carried out in several stages. namely: Problem mapping, Preparation of plans for making media that are tailored to the needs, Preparation of material on disaster mitigation, media creation, testing, repair, re-testing, implementation of disaster mitigation simulations.
