Introduction: Students at the Junior High School level are in a stage of unstable social and emotional development. A safe and supportive school environment is an important factor in promoting disaster-preparedness behavior. The Safe School Disaster Preparedness Unit Program (SSDP) aims to create an inclusive, disaster-ready school environment. This study aimed to determine the implementation of the Safe School Disaster Education Unit Program and its relationship to disaster preparedness behavior among junior high school students. Method: The design is correlational with a cross-sectional approach. The population comprised all students (N = 346), and a sample of 184 was selected using simple random sampling. The instruments used were the Implementation Questionnaire and the Disaster Preparedness Behavior Questionnaire.
