Many communities in Indonesia are potentially affected by tsunamis but do not have adequate preparedness in dealing with such disasters. This study aims to improve the preparedness capacity of the people living around the coast that are potentially affected by the tsunami through tsunami mitigation learning by using OMBAK learning model. The learning is done online to avoid the transmission of covid-19. Before the online learning begins, the student community is asked to work on the tsunami mitigation pre-test. The number of people living around the coast who took part in this learning was 62 people, ranging in age from 13 to 55 years old. Furthermore, students were briefed via a zoom meeting (synchronous) about the implementation of this online learning, especially relating on how to learn tsunami mitigation by using disaster mitigation video media. In this tsunami mitigation learning process, students are allowed to learn asynchronously. We also allow students to discuss tsunami mitigation materials through the WhatApp Group (WAG) during the learning process. After completing the learning process, students were asked to work on post- test questions. Based on the results of the percentage analysis on the learning implementation, it was found that the implementation of tsunami mitigation learning by using OMBAK learning model was carried out very well. In addition, based on the analysis of t-test and gain score from pre- test and post-test data, it was obtained that there was a significant increase in the students’ tsunami mitigation ability.
