Abstract: Educational institutions are obligated to protect children from multi-
hazard disaster risks. The development of reliable and valid measuring instruments
for school safety is an important component for reducing the impact of disasters on
children's future at schools. This study aimed to examine the appropriateness of
measuring instrument models, constructs and indicators of the Disaster Preparedness
and Safety School (SSSB) program to be used in the assessment of the multi-hazard-
based child safety education system in schools. This study used an explanatory
research design with a cross-sectional approach. The sampling technique used was
multistage cluster sampling with 539 elementary schools as samples. The data were
analyzed by Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) using Lisrel 8.80 software. The CFA
results showed that the SSSB constructs are considered valid and reliable. The
modified model fulfilled the Goodness of Fit criteria so that the model is
considered fit and suitable to be applied at schools, with school commitment as the
strongest forming factor (R2 of 82%) for creating a successful SSSB program.
