Dengue fever (DBD) is one of the main health problems in Indonesia, the morbidity and mortality rates continue to increase from year to year. This research focuses on education and prevention of DHF in Pasar X Village, Hamlet III, Kutalimbaru Sub-district, with the aim of increasing community awareness of the risks of DHF and effective ways to prevent transmission through the practice of 3M (Menguras, Menutup, Mengubur). The method used in this study was an educational presentation complemented by interactive discussions and question and answer sessions. Education was delivered through visual media in the form of informative and easy-to-understand posters. The participants of this study totaled 20 people. The results showed that there was success in increasing community awareness and understanding of the risks and prevention of DHF. The community gained better knowledge about the importance of the 3M practice (Menguras, Menutup, Mengubur) in preventing dengue transmission. Although the education program faced challenges, such as communication barriers and limited resources, the results showed an increase in community readiness to implement preventive measures in their neighborhoods. This education is an important first step in DHF control efforts, but program sustainability and adequate infrastructure support are needed to achieve more optimal and sustainable results
