This study aims to describe the effect of the use of eco-science-based disaster mitigation books on disaster mitigation awareness of grade V elementary school students. The research method used is quantitative descriptive research. Activities are carried out using the stages of preparation, implementation, data processing/analysis, and report making. The subjects of the study were 28 students of SDN 3 Turen, Malang Regency. The data collection technique used was a test. The results of the study showed that the use of Eco-Science-based Disaster Mitigation Book learning media in elementary schools can increase students' disaster mitigation awareness. This result is reinforced by an increase in the average pre-test and post-test of students from 80.61 to 95.46. The implications of the study indicate that disaster mitigation books for elementary school students have a positive impact on learning in elementary schools.
