Abstract

Effective knowledge management (KM) is crucial for disaster risk reduction, and is especially effective with the aid of technology. This study explores the development of a disaster education repository to improve access to disaster-related information for stakeholders and school communities. Using a Design Thinking approach, the research involved a needs assessment through online surveys from 40 respondents across seven Indonesian provinces. Focus Group Discussions (FGDs) further informed the design. An empathy map and Point of View (POV) methods were used to analyze user characteristics and requirements. A prototype of the Indonesian Disaster Education Repository House (IN-DEPTH) was developed and tested through User Experience Questionnaires (UEQs) to assess usability. Initial tests with a small group, including government and NGO representatives, as well as a teacher, provided valuable insights into the system's design and functionality. This study represents an early-stage exploration of a disaster education KM system, providing valuable insights into design and functionality. The findings suggest that a centralized disaster education repository has the potential to significantly enhance the accessibility and usability of critical disaster-related information. This could lead to better-informed decision-making among stakeholders, more effective disaster risk reduction strategies, and improved disaster preparedness within school communities. © 2025 Elsevier Ltd
