Abstract
Disaster preparedness in organizations-particularly in universities-plays a crucial role in ensuring operational sustainability and safeguarding the academic community, including within the context of a sustainable campus supply chain. This employee workshop was designed to enhance the campus^s disaster response capacity by integrating technical risk management from the Disaster-Safe Educational Unit (SPAB) with Islamic supportive principles. The methods employed included situation analysis, educational workshops on disaster management and the Islamic perspective on disasters, practical application of the 5 SIAP disaster response framework, and participatory evacuation simulations. Conducted in a participatory format, the workshop involved 78 employees. Results indicated a significant improvement in participants^ technical understanding of evacuation routes, the roles of floor captains in each building, and the readiness of emergency equipment. Additionally, the spiritual dimension was internalized as a source of psychosocial support during disasters. The development of a comprehensive handbook and institutional recommendations were key outputs aimed at sustaining the program. These findings suggest that integrating technical preparedness with religious perspective strengthens campus resilience, fosters collective participation, and provides an operational framework that can be replicated in other higher education institutions.
