Background: Pargarutan Julu Village, East Angkola District, South Tapanuli does not yet have a waste disposal site (TPS), causing residents to habitually dump waste into rivers and burn it around residential areas. In addition, the lack of knowledge about natural disaster mitigation is a problem that needs to be addressed urgently. Objective: This community service activity aims to increase public knowledge and awareness through education on waste management (sorting organic and inorganic waste, impacts of river pollution, and the 3R principle: Reduce, Reuse, Recycle) and natural disaster preparedness (floods and fires). Methods: The activity was conducted outdoors in the village at night using lecture, PowerPoint presentation, and interactive discussion methods, involving 35 participants consisting of children and village residents of Pargarutan Julu. Results: The activity showed high enthusiasm from participants, with many questions raised during the interactive discussion sessions. There was an increase in community understanding of the importance of waste sorting, the dangers of dumping waste into rivers, the application of the 3R principle, and steps for preparedness against flood and fire disasters. Conclusion: The participatory outdoor educational approach effectively improved knowledge and awareness of Pargarutan Julu Village residents regarding proper waste management and natural disaster preparedness, and encouraged sustainable behavioral change in the community.
