This article aims at investigating natural disaster mitigation values in Acehnese Tsunami Victims. Natural disaster mitigation is an important issue for people who live in disaster-prone countries such as Indonesia. The hermeneutical approach was employed in this study to reveal the values of disaster mitigation contained in the true storybook of the survivors of the Earthquake and Tsunami that occurred on 26 December 2004. The results of this research indicated that there are eighteen values of natural disaster mitigation, with details of 9 mitigation values about what to do when a tsunami occurs, three mitigation values about what should be avoided, and six mitigation values about preventive measures to reduce tsunami risk. Finally, this research reveals that these empirical facts can strengthen the theories and concepts of mitigation of the Earthquake and Tsunami disaster and as a reference to various educational contexts.

Conclusion

The earthquake and tsunami that occurred in Aceh Province on December 26, 2004, offer valuable lessons for future generations.Through discourse analysis using a hermeneutic approach, this research identified disaster mitigation values derived from the real experiences of Acehs tsunami victims.These experiences provide knowledge that can be used for disaster education and to raise public awareness regarding the importance of preparedness and appropriate behavior during disasters.The findings of this study can serve as empirical evidence to support existing theories and concepts related to earthquake and tsunami disaster mitigation.

Future Research

Further research could explore the effectiveness of integrating these empirically-derived mitigation values into formal disaster preparedness curricula across Indonesian schools, assessing whether this approach enhances community resilience. Additionally, a comparative study examining the similarities and differences in disaster mitigation values found in the Aceh tsunami survivor stories with those documented in other tsunami-affected regions, such as Japan or Sri Lanka, could provide valuable insights into universal and culturally-specific approaches to disaster preparedness. Finally, investigating the psychological impact of recalling and sharing these traumatic experiences on the survivors themselves, and developing support mechanisms to address potential emotional distress, is crucial for ensuring the long-term well-being of those affected by the disaster and for fostering a more holistic understanding of disaster recovery. These investigations should involve qualitative methods like in-depth interviews and focus group discussions to capture nuanced perspectives and experiences, contributing to a more comprehensive understanding of disaster mitigation and recovery processes.
