Abstract: Flash floods in Bireuen Regency, Aceh, in late November 2025 disrupted access to healthcare services, damaged health facilities, and affected the fulfillment of basic needs among impacted communities. This community service activity aimed to provide health and humanitarian assistance while strengthening volunteers’ competencies through the implementation of State Defense values. The program was conducted from 8–15 December 2025, with field activities carried out on 10–14 December 2025 in Peusangan and South Peusangan Districts. Activities included inter-institutional coordination, rapid needs assessment through observation and interviews, basic healthcare services, individual health education, needs-based aid distribution, and daily monitoring. The team consisted of five volunteers from Universitas Pembangunan Nasional “Veteran” Jakarta, supported by three personnel from Universitas Syiah Kuala. A total of 141 affected residents received health services, and approximately 600 kg of humanitarian aid was distributed. Priority needs identified included medicines, tetanus prophylaxis, masks, backup power, minor surgical equipment, glucometers, water, and equitable aid distribution. The activity demonstrated that university volunteers can support continuity of healthcare services while strengthening communication, coordination, teamwork, leadership, adaptability, and disaster-response skills.
