Two years of COVID-19 pandemic have brought global consequences, especially to those operating in business. This paper examines how risk and crisis preparedness contributed to business survival and resilience in the hospitality sector in Bali, Indonesia, a market significantly dependent on international visitors. This qualitative research employing a phenomenological approach. Initial data were acquired from two months of observation in Bali from March 2020 until the end of May 2020. In addition to observation, semi structured interviews were also conducted with informants from four different hotels, aiming to uncover if the hotels embraced some strategies from the proactive pre-crisis planning to strategic implementations during the crisis. We did not include the after-crisis stage as the pandemic is still ongoing. The researchers validated findings through triangulating interviews with Balinese authorities. We found that although the current crisis disrupted hotel business, it also provided opportunities for creative communication, security strategies, and new connections with public sector health management. Further, in the early stages of crisis management preparedness and focused communication were vital for the level of survivability of the hotels. The study concluded that during a crisis, a successful organization management team does not follow a linear and organized process to lead their business through the stressful and chaotic phases. Based on this study, we learned that business managers who adapted to the situation with crisis preparation, combined with raised awareness of public health issues, and use of commercial strategies focused on local communities can successfully reduce threats.

Based on interviews with a partner, the following community partner issues were lack of medicinal plants gardens around the Al Mubarak Sudiang Islamic boarding school, lack of knowledge and introduction to the types of plants with medicinal properties, and lack of knowledge about the health benefits of medicinal plants. Using traditional medicinal plants is the community's active participation in solving health problems. The community service partner were students in Al Mubarak boarding school. The solution to overcome the partner's problems was empowerment with a participatory learning approach emphasizing learning through consultation, training, coaching, and demonstration/simulation of medicinal plant cultivation and utilization. Then, the authors evaluated program implementation and sustainability before and after activities. The evaluation showed increased achievement levels in all success indicators. Thus, this community service had significant benefits for all participants. In conclusion, the empowerment of students in Al Mubarak Sudiang Islamic Boarding School can increase their knowledge in medicinal plants cultivation and utilization, skills in medicinal plants cultivation, and medicinal plants utilization. The local government should support and participate in the sustainability of this community service through small industries producing healthy drinks from medicinal plants.
