Introduction: The lack of standard guidelines in efforts to increase community capacity in disaster management is one of the factors that causes these efforts to run ineffective. In fact, the community should be equipped to have the awareness to be proactive in disaster management in their area. As professional nurses are expected to be able to take strategic steps in empowering the community in disaster management in line with the values held by the com- munity in each area with the Transcultural Nursing approach. This study aims to identify, develop, and implement a Peer Group (Kelompok Sebaya=POKBAYA) empowerment model through the Disaster Recognition School Children (Anak Sekolah kenal bencana = ASAL KENA) program in strengthening disaster preparedness in vulnerable areas using the Transcultural Nursing Approach. Methods: This study uses a mixed method approach between quantitative research and qualitative research which consists of 3 stages of research. Namely the exploration stage, the model preparation stage and the model development stage.
