PT Nusa Halmahera Minerals (NHM), through the Department of Social Performance and Regional Affairs (KSUR), continues to actively educate the community, particularly school communities around the NHM mining area, about the importance of Clean and Healthy Living Behavior (PHBS) and disaster mitigation. On Friday, February 7, NHM held a PHBS and disaster mitigation education session at SMP Negeri 12 North Halmahera, located in Makaeling Village, Kao Teluk District. The event was attended by 173 participants, including students from grades VII to IX and teachers.

This initiative aligns with NHM’s commitment to increasing disaster preparedness among students in the mining area, particularly for earthquakes, floods, and other potential hazards. It also supports the objectives of Minister of Education and Culture Regulation Number 33 of 2019 on Disaster-Safe Education Units, which aims to create safe school environments for students.
