This study aims to produce a prototype of an additional personal flotation device (PPPT) that can provide benefits to water disaster personals who are at risk of drowning. Drowning incidents are the second highest tragedy in this country after road accidents. Lately, the issue of disasters that hit the country related to water accidents is increasing. Major floods, cases of drowning in rivers, seas and swimming pools involving children, adults and not least water disaster rescuers who are at high risk during rescue operations. The Fire and Rescue Department is the main target group of this study. The function of the device is given the main focus in the production of this prototype which can be used as an additional device to the life jacket currently used by the rescuers of the Fire and Rescue Department. Art-based research (ABR) methodology paradigm is a methodology used through study design based on studio work and design process methods in producing the prototypes. From the production of this prototype variation, some data is produced and recorded as a creative process in a diary/journal provided to record input and translate every process of the making of the prototype including the creation and study carried out from time to time in a systematic manner. Through this study, a prototype that has a function compatible with the needs of the rescue community is produced. The results of this research are a form of academic contribution and can provide great benefits in addition to reducing the risk of death for rescuers who need the device during an emergency.
