Research subjects were Indonesian students in Kuala Lumpur Malaysia. The method used is an experimental research method with a one group pretest and posttest strategy. The data obtained was analyzed in three ways which are normality test, product moment correlation test, and two party test. The normality test found that the distribution of data is normal with scale 0.007 for pretest and 0.353 for posttest based on Saphiro-Wilk test. The effectiveness is measured by t-test from SPSS. The result shows that the syg 2-tail is 0.000 which means that there is a significance in the research result. This makes the hypothesis can be accepted. The accepted hypothesis means that socialization is still a good way to make people understand about the disaster and make the chance of survival is getting higher.
