A Self-Evacuation Drill Development Program for Community Resilience against Mt. Merapi Disaster

Mt. Merapi is an active volcano in which the occurrence of the eruption is very frequent and produces significant disaster. As a part of disaster mitigation program, evacuation drills become very important not only for raising the community awareness, but also for increasing the community resilience...
