IOT-BASED MITIGATION SYSTEM WORKSHOP AND FLOOD DISASTER MANAGEMENT EDUCATION FOR RESIDENTS OF PEDURENAN, TANGERANG CITY

Abstract

Pedurenan Urban Village, Karang Tengah Sub district, is one of the most flood-prone areas in Tangerang City, often resulting in significant material losses. Effective flood disaster management and mitigation are urgently needed to reduce the negative impacts of flooding in this region. Therefore, a solution is required to ensure that residents are better prepared and more responsive to flood events. The objective of this community service program is to enhance public awareness and capacity to address flood disasters through IoT-based flood mitigation workshops and disaster management education. This activity provides both theoretical and practical knowledge to the community on effective mitigation strategies. The methods include workshops on IoT-based mitigation systems, interactive discussions, and simulations. The program focuses on introducing disaster mitigation concepts, identifying flood-prone areas, and practicing safe evacuation strategies. Field simulations reinforce participants’ understanding through hands-on practice in near-real flood scenarios. The role of Universitas Budi Luhur is to raise awareness and build community preparedness for flood prevention in Pedurenan Village. The expected output includes a simple IoT-based flood mitigation tool that can serve as an early warning system, as well as academic contributions such as scientific publications, technology-based products, and intellectual property rights (IPR).
