Guest Lecture - Threats, Vulnerabilities, Disasters and Disaster Mitigation

Monday 12 December 2022, the Physics Study Program held a Public Lecture with Alumni on the topic "Threats, Vulnerabilities, Disasters and Disaster Mitigation". This public lecture is aimed at students who take part in the Geophysics skills group, but not only that, other general students also have the opportunity to take part in this public lecture. In this public lecture, the material was delivered by alumni of the physics education study program, Prof. Dr. Muhammad Farid, M.S who is a professor in geophysics at Bengkulu University.

In his presentation, Prof Farid explained that Indonesia's geographical conditions are very prone to disasters. This is also exacerbated by public facilities which are still poor, especially in inland areas. Apart from that, threats also come from human activities that do not complete waste management and thus damage the environment. Not only explaining the potential and forms of disasters that occur in Indonesia, Prof Farid in his presentation also explained the urgency of young people to overcome environmental problems in order to minimize the occurrence of disasters, especially those caused by human actions. Especially for disasters that are not caused by humans, students are also given knowledge and skills related to disaster mitigation.
