STUDENTS of SMPN 1 Jogonalan, Klaten, gave a performance at the handover ceremony of 35 schools held on February 27, 2009 at SDN 01 Babadan, Klaten, as the final stage of Education Response Alliance (ERA) between USAID/Indonesia and ConocoPhillips Indonesia to help with reconstruction and rehabilitation of schools in Klaten following the 2006 earthquake in Yogyakarta.
This was not the first time the students had been on stage to perform the drama. They had performed it three times previously during workshops on disaster preparedness in Semarang, Solo and Yogyakarta.
This time they performed in front of VIPs from USAID, ConocoPhillips, BP MIGAS, and officials from Kabupaten Klaten, Central Java.
The short play performed by the students focussed on how to prepare for an earthquake and what to do if an earthquake occurs. The messages in the play were given in a simple way, using simple language and actions to teach young people about disaster preparedness.
The students who performed in this event were also involved in developing a handbook on earthquake preparedness ’Siaga Gempa’. The drama they performed was a way of publicizing the contents of the book.

The performance was very well received.
