Many regions in Indonesia are almost always hit by a disaster of hydrometeorology like flood during the rainy season. The flood problem until now has not been completed. Prevention and preparedness measures in the face of flood disasters already Many are developed and applied by the central, local, and volunteer communities disaster. But these steps were not optimal because the floods were still Continue to happen. Besides because policies that might not be on target, this step less optimal due to community participation and awareness which each lacks The importance of hydrometeorology and its impact. Therefore efforts are needed to educate the wider community about Hydrometeorology. One of the educational efforts that can be done in the internet era is Development of the hydrometeorological educational module presented online. a interactive, interesting, and accessible educational modules with potentially large in Community intersection without having to attend formal education. Education and fundamental knowledge of meteorology and hydrometeorology can also be given to school children from the basic level so that their understanding can be embedded well and can be applied when adults. The implementation was carried out within the ITB scope and discussions with the community of flood volunteers in Jaga Hall. This online module can be utilized by all Indonesian people, including, school children and students.
Application of appropriate technology
Today's society has not actively participated in disaster risk reduction Hydrometeorology. This is most likely due to lack of education to the community about Meteorological scientific. At present there is no available online module system of Indonesian meteorology / hydrometeorological modules that are structured and provide comprehensive, clear and easy-to-understand material. Making a hydrometeorological online module is expected to increase Free educational access that can be accessed with the community.
