The Health Polytechnic has implemented a Disaster Management Course since 2012. But the study material has not yet integrated local wisdom material. Even though natural disasters are closely related to the state of peoples cultural wisdom. Education has become one of the effective means to reduce disaster risk, especially in disaster prone areas. Then it is necessary to do research on the learning model of local wisdom oriented disaster mitigation in the Health Polytechnic The design of this study is the research and development of local wisdom-based disaster mitigation learning models. The research subjects were all lecturers, students and traditional leaders located in the Padang Health Polytechnic and Banjarmasin Health Polytechnic. The study was conducted with 3 stages of identification, development and assessment. Local wisdom-based disaster mitigation learning process uses modules. Data collection uses primary and secondary data. Data were analyzed qualitatively and quantitatively by paired t test and Independent t test. The research shows the identification of the profile of students who take part in the process of learning disaster mitigation, it can be seen that the sex of students is generally female. Respondents interest in disaster management subjects was good enough by using learning media both theory and practice. The ability of lecturers in disaster management courses is good. However, the subject of disaster management courses has not included local wisdom material. After learning about disaster mitigation based on local wisdom, there is an increase in knowledge, attitudes and disaster response actions. Disaster mitigation learning in the treatment group shows high motivation and curiosity in local wisdom material. In the non-treatment group, the students motivation was low and less active in learning. This means that local wisdom-based disaster mitigation learning is quite effective in increasing students knowledge, attitudes and actions. It should be encouraged to learn about understanding preparedness to act when disasters come and endanger the community. Information about disaster including its mitigation needs to be added to the content of local wisdom material on disaster and lecturers with sociology qualifications
