Introduction: Physical education is essential in promoting physical activity, which improves students' health and acts as a creative strategy for disaster mitigation, such as during earthquakes. Including physical exercises in disaster preparedness education within schools can enhance motor skills, promote swift reaction capabilities, and boost students' preparedness to manage emergency scenarios effectively. Objective: To carry out earthquake disaster risk reduction simulations through physical activities for students via physical education in schools situated in disaster-sensitive regions. Methodology: The study was conducted in three schools in Gresik, Lumajang, and Malang, involving 446 students in disaster readiness activities. A design using pre-test and post-test groups was applied. The execution was conducted between July and August 2024 in three phases: (1) evaluating earthquake risk using the InaRisk Personal app, which indicated a moderate level of danger; (2) validating 10 disaster prevention drills designed with input from 90 PESH instructors across different regions, achieving an 82% feasibility score; and (3) integrating the drills into PESH courses, carrying out surveys before and after the classes. Data analysis was conducted using SPSS. Results: The tool was valid and dependable for assessing earthquake mitigation simulations in PESH classes. Nonetheless, the t-test outcomes (Sig. = 0.022) revealed a significant difference between the pre-and post-test scores, implying an impact from the simulations. Conclusions: Simulations focused on disaster mitigation through physical education can significantly influence and enhance preparedness in schools susceptible to disasters. © 2025 Federacion Espanola de Docentes de Educacion Fisica.
