Indonesians require catastrophe education and information on how to avoid them. The public can be informed about a disaster and its effects through the media. Radio is one of them since it is efficient and effective at disseminating knowledge about the dangers and effects of disasters, epidemics, and other types of calamities. RRI responded by airing the television program "Kentongan" as one of the disaster mitigation measures.
