Abstract

Flooding is a hydrometeorological disaster that affects public health, the environment, social well-being, and community quality of life. The Flood-Resilient Village Program (Kampung Tangguh Banjir) aimed to strengthen community capacity for post-disaster social, health, and environmental recovery through a student-based community empowerment approach in Sukaraja Village, Medan City. Pregnant women and older adults were prioritized because they are groups that require continuous health monitoring and may experience disrupted access to health services following floods. Students served as facilitators in needs assessment, health education, technology implementation, mentoring, health screening, and environmental activities under lecturer supervision and in collaboration with the local government, primary health center, community health volunteers, and residents. The program employed a Participatory Community Empowerment approach consisting of five stages: socialization, training, technology implementation, mentoring and evaluation, and program sustainability. Participants included 17 pregnant women, 20 breastfeeding mothers, 43 infants and toddlers represented by their parents, 40 older adults, and 5 community health volunteers. Pregnant women's outcomes were evaluated using a pretest-posttest design, while activities for older adults were evaluated through health screening and monitoring of health participation. The results showed that the mean score among pregnant women increased from 56.0 to 84.0 after the intervention, with the highest increase observed in the ability to recognize pregnancy danger signs at 88.9%. All 40 older adults participated in health screening, and 75% reported undergoing regular health check-ups. Active utilization of the E-KIA and SIMOLA applications reached 70% during the mentoring activities. The program also strengthened community participation and the capacity of community health volunteers to support post-flood health and environmental recovery. A student-based empowerment approach integrated with digital health technology and cross-sector collaboration can support the strengthening of community capacity for post-flood recovery and health risk reduction.
