Disaster mitigation is a series of efforts to reduce disaster risk, through physical development and capacity building to face disaster threats. This effort is important, especially in Aceh Province, which is a disaster-prone area. People with visual disabilities are vulnerable to disaster threat. Special facilities are needed to educate them about disaster mitigation. This program designs “Monopoli Bencana (Monca)” as a disaster mitigation learning media for people with visual disabilities. Monca aims to increase their awareness, knowledge and understanding related to disaster mitigation. Program implementation uses the one shoot pretest-posttest method. This program covers three important things, starting with socialization, direct discussion, and the practice of playing Monca. The target of this program is the people with visual disabilities in the UPTD Rumoh Seujahtera Beujroh Meukarya (RSBM). This program has three final results, namely: 1) Monca as an educational game equipped with braille: 2) Disaster mitigation pocket book printed in braille; 3) There is an increase in knowledge and awareness of the importance of disaster mitigation for at least 11 children who participated in the program.
