Surabaya, 26 June 2026 – As part of the Astra Group’s commitment to fostering resilient and sustainable communities, PT United Tractors Tbk (UT), a subsidiary of PT Astra International Tbk (Astra), in collaboration with the National Disaster Management Agency (BNPB), organizes the Training of Trainers (ToT) for Disaster-Resilient Villages (Kampung Tangguh Bencana/KATANA) from 22–26 June 2026 at UT School Surabaya, East Java.
The program forms part of UT’s ongoing efforts to support Astra Group’s social contribution initiatives by strengthening the capacity of village communities to become more prepared, responsive, and resilient in the face of potential disasters. Through its collaboration with BNPB, participants gain knowledge and practical skills in disaster risk reduction, mitigation, preparedness, and emergency response.
“Through the KATANA Training of Trainers program, UT, together with BNPB, is committed to strengthening the capacity of village cadres so they can serve as facilitators and catalysts for disaster preparedness within their communities. We believe that communities equipped with the knowledge and capabilities to mitigate disaster risks are better prepared to face various challenges, enabling our partner villages to become more resilient, self-reliant, and empowered,” says Himawan.
The training brings together Disaster-Resilient Village cadres from UT’s partner villages who are members of the Disaster Risk Reduction Forum (Forum Pengurangan Risiko Bencana/FPRB), including Sumbergondo, Tulungrejo, Giripurno, Mojorejo, Gumingsir, Tawangargo, Aribaya, and Sumbermujur villages. The program also involves representatives from the Regional Disaster Management Agencies (Badan Penanggulangan Bencana Daerah/BPBD) of Malang Regency, Batu City, Banjarnegara Regency, Lumajang Regency, and the East Java Provincial BPBD as strategic partners in strengthening disaster risk reduction efforts.
Throughout the five-day program, participants take part in a comprehensive series of learning activities facilitated directly by BNPB trainers. The training includes pre-tests, classroom sessions, role-playing exercises, and disaster simulations conducted in person. This learning approach ensures that participants not only strengthen their understanding of disaster mitigation concepts but also develop the practical skills needed to apply them effectively in real-life situations.

Through this training, UT aims to equip participants with the knowledge and skills to become capable facilitators who can educate their respective communities on the importance of disaster preparedness and disaster risk reduction. The presence of these trained village cadres is expected to strengthen a culture of disaster awareness at the community level while fostering more resilient, self-reliant, and disaster-ready villages.
The implementation of the KATANA Training of Trainers reflects UT’s commitment, as part of the Astra Group, to creating long-term value for communities through sustainable social responsibility programs. Together with its stakeholders, UT continues to support community capacity building as part of its efforts to foster safer, more resilient, and sustainable communities.
