This explanatory mixed-method research examines the preparedness, competence, and challenges of sixteen (16) school DRRM coordinators in Salcedo 1 district, Schools Division of Eastern Samar, in response to their task in implementing school DRRM measures. The data gathering techniques, namely, the use of the adopted questionnaire and focus group discussion, further explored their preparedness and competence, the challenges they experienced, their corresponding coping mechanisms, and the institutional mechanisms that support the implementation of DRRM in the said district. Significant results of the study revealed that the DRRM coordinators are somewhat prepared for the community risk assessment, communication system, and capacity building. Moreover, the competence level of school DRRM coordinators showed and was interpreted as “Highly competent.” Determining the association between preparedness level on DRRM measures and the competence of School DRRM coordinators resulted in a significant relationship between community risk assessment, communication system, and capacity-building the competence of school DRRM coordinators. Recommendations include sustaining the preparedness of coordinators, developing tactical response and command leadership skills, training in community risk assessment, substantial allocation of funds for DRRM, prioritization of DRRM activities, and integrating DRRM into School Improvement Plans (SIP) and embedding these activities within the school curriculum.

<strong>Abstract:</strong> Over the past few decades, the topic of disasters has always been discussed around the world. The schools are facing problems regarding the undesirable effects of disasters. The researcher took interest in how the schools of Carmen 2 District dealt with the pressing issue. The study focused on the program initiated by the Department of Education, the SDRRMP. A total of thirty (30) DRRM coordinators, physical facilities coordinators and school heads were selected as research participants. The study used the adopted survey questionnaires from the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management (NDRRM) Plan. The study utilized the mixed method of qualitative type of research and descriptive-survey method. The weighted mean was used as a statistical tool in the study. The salient findings of the study were the following: The participants assessed their level of capabilities in the implementation of DRRMP with regards to human resources, material facilities, knowledge and education, policies, plans and procedures which were verbally interpreted as moderately implemented (MI); the respondents assessed the implementation of DRRMP in terms of prevention and mitigation, preparedness, response, and rehabilitation which were verbally interpreted as moderately implemented (MI); and the most prevalent challenges encountered by the school heads and teachers in the implementation of DRRMP are lack of DRRM teachers' training, lack of inventory, vulnerability and risk assessments of school buildings and infrastructures, unavailability of resources to implement DRRM plans, programs, and activities, unclear funding source to sustain DRRM plans, programs, and activities and lack of parents' engagement to support DRRMP.<strong>Keywords:</strong> Capabilities, Disaster, Mitigation, Preparedness, Prevention, Rehabilitation, Response, Vulnerabilities.<strong>Title:</strong> Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Program Implementation in Carmen 2 District: An Assessment<strong>Author:</strong> Mona Lisa Lopez de la Cruz<strong>International Journal of Novel Research in Education and Learning</strong><strong>ISSN 2394-9686</strong><strong>Vol. 10, Issue 6, November 2023 - December 2023</strong><strong>Page No: 1-15</strong><strong>Novelty Journals</strong><strong>Website: www.noveltyjournals.com</strong><strong>Published Date: 07-November-2023</strong><strong>DOI: </strong><strong>https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.10078445</strong><strong>Paper Download Link (Source)</strong><strong>https://www.noveltyjournals.com/upload/paper/Disaster%20Risk%20Reduction%20and%20Management-07112023-5.pdf</strong>

Natural disasters and emergencies impose significant challenges on schools’ capacity to maintain an inclusive educational environment, which contributes to inadequate protection of learners during and after disasters. The objective of this study was to determine the level of DRRM implementation and compliance in selected public schools in Tanay Sub-Office, Schools Division Office of Rizal. It further sought to determine the significant difference in the level of DRRM implementation and compliance between schools implementing inclusive education programs and regular high schools. The study utilized a descriptive-inferential methodology. The data were collected using a researcher-made survey questionnaire anchored on the DepEd School DRRM Manual. One hundred thirty-eight (138) public secondary school teachers from Tanay Sub-Office participated in conduct of the study. The findings revealed that DRRM measures have been widely implemented in all four DRRM areas: prevention and mitigation, preparedness, response, and post-disaster recovery and rehabilitation. Schools were also found to be compliant with the Comprehensive Schools Safety pillars. Furthermore, the study found no significant difference in the level of DRRM implementation when participants are classified in terms of their school type. However, in terms of level of DRRM compliance, the study revealed that schools offering inclusive education programs had a higher level of DRRM compliance compared to regular high schools, particularly in School Disaster Management and Risk Reduction and Resilience Education. The study recommends that the Department of Education update its Comprehensive DRRM policy and support framework, ensuring they align with global standards. Future research should consider investigating factors that contribute to higher DRRM implementation and compliance in schools offering inclusive education programs.

Full textAbstract:
The study explored the key trends and various issues surrounding disaster risk reduction and management (DRRM) in the Philippines by analyzing the interrelationship of disaster risk, revenue generation capacity, and DRRM capacity of local governments in the Philippines. The study analyzed the economic implications of disasters to the local economy and analyzed how revenue generation capacity of local governments contributes to realizing disaster-resilient local economy. The study found out that while the law encourages local governments to invest on DRRM, the current system, however, puts local governments with lower income at a disadvantage as they have lower revenues and thus, less resources to utilize for DRRM. The varying income among local governments create disparity not just in local growth but also in performing their DRRM devolved functions. Therefore, the revenue generation capacity of local governments is crucial to strengthen DRRM at the local level. The study suggests that addressing disparity in income and the complexities in sourcing the local revenue as well as having entrepreneurial and transformational local chief executives are crucial factors to realize disaster-resilient local economy in the Philippines.

Full textAbstract:
The study aimed to assess the level of DRRM implementation, school performance, the correlation between the two, identify which DRRM components significantly influence school performance, and propose an enhanced action plan. A descriptive-correlational method was used, with data collected through a survey questionnaire. Results showed that both DRRM implementation and school performance were at a high level. Regression analysis revealed that disaster prevention and mitigation, disaster preparedness, and disaster rehabilitation and recovery were significant predictors of school performance. The proposed enhanced action plan aligns DRRM targets with safety and readiness indicators, suggests appropriate budget allocation based on existing policies, and defines measurable success indicators. A context-based approach is recommended to adapt the action plan according to the unique conditions and experiences of each school, ensuring that safety priorities are effectively addressed.

Abstract The study determines the level of disaster risk reduction measures (DRRM) and disaster preparedness, as well as the significant relationship between the two variables in Cogon, San Antonio, and Toril elementary schools in Babak District. A descriptive-correlational research design was employed in this study. Data analysis involved the use of the weighted average mean and the Pearson Product- Moment Correlation Coefficient. A total of forty-five school heads and teachers respondents were selected through total population sampling. The findings of the study revealed that the levels of disaster risk reduction measures (DRRM) and disaster preparedness in the selected schools are very high, suggesting successful integration and implementation of DRRM strategies. Additionally, a significant relationship was found between the two variables, indicating that increased implementation of disaster risk reduction measures (DRRM) corresponds to higher levels of disaster preparedness in the schools. Consequently, incorporating DRRM into school systems improves the readiness of school heads and teachers for unexpected disasters. The school heads and teachers possess more knowledge and skills to handle disasters, as they are responsible for guiding and protecting students during such events.

This study assessed the level of awareness and extent of integration of disaster risk reduction and management (DRRM) in teaching among 43 teachers of Northville 15 Integrated School, District 4, Division of Angeles City, during the school year 2023–2024, using a quantitative-descriptive research design. The findings revealed that teachers were “moderately aware” of DRRM, particularly in disaster-related knowledge, preparedness, adaptation, awareness, and risk perception. The integration of DRRM into education was to a “moderate extent,” focusing on attitude, action, school policy, preparedness planning, and resource mobilization. Problems encountered included lack of training, limited resources, and absence of specific training materials, which were identified as “highly serious” and “very serious” concerns. Based on these findings, a school disaster risk reduction and management plan was proposed, emphasizing hazard awareness, preparedness, and roles before, during, and after disasters. Recommendations included implementing the proposed plan, enhancing school-based DRRM programs with stakeholder participation, conducting regular evaluations of DRRM activities, fostering linkages with government agencies, and increasing disaster preparedness drills. Further research was encouraged to enhance disaster management knowledge and skills.

Full textAbstract:
Colleges and universities are key players in implementing the disaster risk reduction and management (DRRM) agenda of the government. This study investigated DRRM among local universities and colleges (LUCs) in Central Luzon, Philippines focusing on philosophy, policies, programs, practices, and processes (5Ps) and level of implementation in the four thematic areas - disaster prevention and mitigation, disaster preparedness, disaster response, and disaster recovery and rehabilitation. The study also examined the relationship between the 5Ps and level of implementation of DRRM and their differences. A descriptive-correlational research design was employed with 123 respondents from 12 LUCs. A self-structured questionnaire was utilized to gather data. The 5Ps were rated as Evident with Philosophy receiving the highest rating. The level of implementation in the four areas was described as Implemented with Disaster Response receiving the highest mean. Strong positive correlations were found between the 5Ps and the level of DRRM implementation with Processes and Programs exhibiting the strongest positive correlation to level of implementation. Significant differences among the institutions in these two variables were also found, which implies that some scored higher compared to the rest. Based on the findings, various measures were proposed such as the integration of DRRM into the vision, mission, goals, and objectives of the institution, development of a manual of operations and institutional plan, integration in instruction, research and extension, enhancement of current programs and practices, institutional benchmarking among colleges and universities, and the utilization of the 5Ps framework to identify gaps and areas for improvement. Implications of the study to local and national DRRM strategies were also presented.

Disasters are inevitable, but their scope and magnitude are often magnified due to unsustainable development that has not considered the possible hazard impacts in a particular location. Compliance with DRRM should be identified as one of the primary concerns of any school to prepare necessary precautionary measures in the occurrence of natural and even human-caused calamities. This study entitled “Assessment of the Three Pillars of the Comprehensive Disaster Risk Reduction Management in Basic Education” sought to establish significant relationships between the knowledge, skills, and attitudes of the teacher respondents, as well as with the school profile of the 48 participating schools using Chi-Square Test. Best Practices for the implementation of the DRRM activities were also analyzed. The test of hypotheses conducted in this study has recognized the significant relationship between variables that are notably important to the teachers, schools, pillars of the DRRM, and most importantly, to the learners. The study's results displayed a significant relationship between the teachers' attitudes, together with the enrollment profile, and the extent of the level of implementation of the three pillars of comprehensive DRRM in Basic Education. Having a high score on the CFSS also significantly correlates with the three pillars of comprehensive DRRM in Basic Education.

This study examined the implementation of Disaster Risk Reduction Management (DRRM) in the 11 Elementary Schools in Santiago District in the Philippines using the Gawad Kalasag criteria. It determined the problems encountered by the schools in the implementation of DRRM and assessed the areas of enabling environment, safe learning facilities, school disaster risk reduction management, and disaster risk reduction (DRR) in education. Complete enumeration was employed for the school heads and DRR coordinators while random sampling for teachers and pupils. The responses were analyzed using a four-point Likert scale weighted mean. The results found that the schools have fully implemented safe learning facilities and partially implemented enabling environment and school disaster risk reduction management criteria, with the lowest mean in the DRR in education criteria. Common problems encountered in the implementation of DRRM include creating policies, lack of personnel and budget, and lack of education and information. The study recommends development of DRR integration module, conduct of DRRM training, and budget allocation on DRR.

Disaster risk reduction and management is the concern, particularly in schools. One must be aware of the various indicators surrounding this very important phenomenon. In this study, the researchers endeavored to surface students’ level of awareness of the DRRM indicators. The approach was quantitative, and the research methods were descriptive and comparative. The technique in gathering data was through a questionnaire administered via Google form. The study was conducted in the college department of Saint Mary’s University with 495 participants. The study recorded more female respondents coming from the four schools of SMU, and most respondents were those who did not have any DRRM-related organization. The findings showed a good level of awareness of disaster risk reduction. However, as evidenced by the lower mean ratings in human resources, programs and activities, and structural resilience, it could be concluded that some students are not aware of some of the standards and protocols of local and national DRR programs and activities. It was also found that regardless of Sex and School, respondents’ awareness of disaster and its programs do not vary that much. However, DRRM-related organizations could be considered a factor that affects the perception of students’ level of awareness of DRRM programs and activities. Moreover, students’ perceptions do not vary when compared across the seven DRRM indicators.

Disaster risk reduction and management apply whenever naturally caused disaster or calamity strikes. The reason for this management approach is to minimize injuries and mortalities. A large part of the globe experiences increased risks to natural disasters and calamities, including the Philippines, affecting even schools as well. With that, the Republic Act 10121, known as the "Philippine Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Act of 2010," was passed and enacted into law. The utilization of education to build resiliency was given priority. Section 14 of the Act tasked the DepEd, CHED, and TESDA to incorporate DRRM in the school curricula, both public and private, including Catholic schools such as the Augustinian Recollect schools. Thus, this study ascertains the extent of the practice of DRRM measures of Augustinian Recollects schools in Negros Island. The focus of the assessment includes the four thematic areas: prevention and mitigation, preparedness, response, and rehabilitation, and recovery. Also, it explores the relationship between the practice of DRRM measures and the schools' demographic in size, DRRM budget allocation, location, and population.

Informed by the constructivist grounded theory, the research set out with the general goal of understanding disaster risk communication as experienced by extension workers from selected Lasallian schools in the Philippines. The research specifically looked at how research participants from these selected schools define and understand the communication process and purpose in three DRRM phases: disaster preparedness and mitigation, response, and rehabilitation and recovery. Findings show that communication processes are distinctive in the phases of disaster and these processes are affected by inflexible communication system, dated engagement framework, and lack of DRRM training and education. The findings led to the development of a proposed disaster risk communication model for school-initiated DRRM interventions.

This study aims to determine the training needs of the school Disaster Risk Reduction and Management coordinators of the Schools Division Office of Albay. This study was conducted in the 556 public elementary and secondary schools of the division of Albay for School Year 2024-2025. This research employed multi-method research design and a self-formulated survey- questionnaire and interview guide as the main instruments for quantitative and qualitative data collection. The researcher used the Purposive Sampling technique for the conduct of this research. The study revealed that SDO Albay has been implementing a DRRM training program for several years but faces challenges like overlapping activities and heavy workloads, centrally-identified training programs, limited financial, logistical, technical and stakeholder support, frequent turnover of position, and inadequate training venues and facilities. Significant gaps in training programs emphasize the need for continuous, targeted and comprehensive capacity-building for school DRRM coordinators, covering life-saving skills, emergency preparedness, safety, and mental health to address all aspects of disaster management. Effective DRRM trainings requires additional manpower, financial, technical, logistical, and community support. The developed DRRM training program is highly recommended to serve as framework for future trainings for school coordinators.

The Philippines is geographically located in the Pacific ring of fire, making the country one of the most vulnerable countries to natural disasters. With this, proper mitigations such as disaster preparedness and awareness among the citizens are essential to minimize the casualties whenever disaster strikes. Thus, this study aimed to assess Senior High School Students' competency level (SHS) on Disaster Risk Reduction and Management (DRRM) topics. A descriptive-comparative quantitative design was used to attain the objectives of the study. Moreover, an adopted questionnaire was used in this study. A total of twohundred twenty-two (222) Senior High School Students from the University of Mindanao - Digos participated in the survey. The study results revealed that Senior High School Students’ DRRM competency level needs improvement and showed no significant differences when analyzed according to their grade level, strand, and age, except for the topic, “Application of DRRM Concepts,” when analyzed by age. In contrast, it was found that there is a significant difference in students’ competency according to their sex. Therefore, the findings of the study implied that there is a need for curriculum enhancement and training programs for teachers to address the gaps pertaining to DRRM.

Nepal as being a mountainous country, vulnerability, hazard, and risk is everywhere. This paper contributes to the study of disaster-related existing policies in Nepal. The research is based on an extensive literature review and meta-analysis of the existing literature on disaster risk reduction and management. The results revealed that after the state restructuring in 2015, there are several policies either formulated or in the process of formulation. The Constitution of Nepal (2015) has stipulated that DRM is a shared responsibility of all levels of government including federal, provincial, and local levels. Precisely, before 1982, disaster management activities were carried out in an unorganized way. Importantly, it is also highlighted that the Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Act 2017 is the milestone in the DRRM section in Nepal. One of the key aspects of the DRRM Act 2017 is the provision for forming community-based Disaster Preparedness and Response Committees. Thus, this research leads us to embedding principles of sustainability and inclusivity in the DRRM cycle under the context of the new governing system in Nepal. We recommend that if the current policies continue to shape national policy, they will impede the potential for transformative collaborative action for DRRM in Nepal.

his study aimed to assess the extent of implementation of Disaster Risk Reduction Management (DRRM) and the extent of stakeholder participation in times of disaster towards the development of a comprehensive community-based Disaster Risk Reduction Management (DRRM) strategic manual. This study employed a descriptive comparative research design utilizing survey methodology. The study was conducted in the Third District of the Province of Negros Oriental. The respondents were LGU officials, PNP, DRRM Coordinators, SK officials, barangay officials, and local residents and were selected using a stratified random sampling technique. The major tool used in this study is a survey questionnaire adopted from the Provincial Disaster Risk Reduction Plan manual. Data were analysed using weighted mean and one-way analysis of Variance (ANOVA). The study found that people are more proactive in preventing disasters than recovering from them. The poor performance of respondents in Disaster Rehabilitation and Recovery (DRRM) was attributed to a lack of expertise and resources. The DRRM program's effectiveness still needs to be explored; hence, there is an urgent need for further study and evaluation to measure its impact. Communities often lack the means and capacity to respond effectively, emphasizing the need for empowering and involving local populations in disaster management. Insufficient resources, capacity, and collaboration between stakeholders hinder the implementation of disaster management programs, resulting in inadequate results and a loss of confidence in the government's ability to address disaster management needs. An internal disaster response plan should be in place in every barangay and activated during and immediately after disasters. When chaos and devastation from a disaster demand capability beyond those that barangays can afford, Local Government Units (LGUs) and the National Government are supposed to respond. Designated Barangay Disaster Response Teams and volunteers may also help.

Full textAbstract:
This developmental study aimed to evaluate the disaster risk reduction and management (DRRM) capabilities, preparedness, and emergency response competence of Filipino school principals in Guimaras Island, while also developing a relevant contingency management planning toolkit tailored to the needs of the region. The study involved 92 deliberately selected participants, including public elementary and secondary school principals, as well as private school administrators. Data was collected using a researcher-made questionnaire consisting of three sections: DRRM Assessment Capability, Preparedness, and Emergency Response Competence. Descriptive statistics, including frequency counts, percentage analysis, mean, standard deviation, and rank, were used for data analysis. The results indicated that both public and private school principals in Guimaras demonstrated a high capability for risk assessment, substantial preparedness, and a significant level of competence in emergency response. Notably, their assessment capability was strongest in areas such as monitoring and evaluating DRRM programs and understanding Site Development Plans, while their least predominant skills were related to maintaining and strengthening lifeline systems and estimating equipment lifespans. In terms of DRRM preparedness, strengths included utilizing DepEd Orders for class suspensions during inclement weather and providing emergency contact directories. Weaknesses were identified in areas like capacitating student-led watch teams and preparing localized school policies for disaster preparedness. Regarding emergency response, school principals were found to be highly competent in managing personnel and coordinating with the Local DRRM Team. They were also proficient in providing necessities to teachers and students and reporting damages using the RADaR App. To address the identified gaps, a contextualized toolkit was proposed, tailored to the specific needs of Guimaras schools. This toolkit received excellent ratings from experts in terms of its attributes, objectives, content, usefulness, and self-help features.

Full textAbstract:
This study examines the impact of contextualized Disaster Risk Reduction and Management (DRRM) modules on Senior High School students' preparedness, grounded in Kolb’s Experiential Learning Model. The importance of this study lies in its potential to enhance disaster preparedness among students, aligning with educational goals to equip learners with practical life skills and resilience strategies. The DRRM modules, developed and validated by experts using the DepEd Region 2 Checklist, are designed to ensure relevance, reliability, and contextual adaptability. The SHS students and teachers as the end users of these modules. Statistics show that the performance of the students from pretest and posttest improves. Kolb’s stages—Concrete Experience, Reflective Observation, Abstract Conceptualization, and Active Experimentation—were utilized to foster experiential learning, which has been shown to improve students’ academic performance and comprehension of DRRM concepts. The results indicate that these contextualized modules effectively enhanced the students’ understanding and preparedness, as evidenced by improved pretest and posttest scores. This approach, validated for its educational rigor, holds the potential for broader implementation in similar educational settings to enhance student preparedness across various contexts.

Full textAbstract:
Compliance with the provisions of the Philippine Disaster Risk Reduction and Management (PDRRM) Act strengthens the DRRM office in local government units resulting in effectual practices in reducing, minimizing, and mitigating risks and creating its disaster resiliency. This study assessed the compliance of local government units (LGUs) with the provisions of the PDRRM Act in the areas of risk management practices and institutional arrangements and capacities focused on the four thematic areas of disaster. Challenges encountered by DRRM officers and planning coordinators of 32 LGUs were investigated. Using descriptive analysis, the findings revealed a high level of compliance with risk management practices in prevention and mitigation, preparedness, and response and a moderate level of rehabilitation and recovery. As to institutional arrangements and capacities, LGUs also exhibited a high level of compliance with a lower mean on structural mechanisms. When income classification was used as a variable, 4th class LGUs rated moderate; as to location, results were varied. As to the number of hazards, LGUs with nine hazards and more are rated high. The study concluded that failure to provide personnel and financial resources to the DRRM office endangers the safety and general well-being of the population and poses great risks to lives and properties.

Full textAbstract:
The Philippines is a disaster-prone spot in the Asian continent, which calls for proactive response vital in disaster mitigation and adaptation. For a program to be successful, it must involve the citizens from the national to the barangay level. This descriptive study investigated the perceptions of community residents of San Francisco, Iriga City, and Karuhatan, Valenzuela City, towards Disaster Risk Reduction and Management (DRRM) programs as proactive measures in promoting a culture of safety and community resilience in times of disaster or emergency. Thirty residents from each community answered a community survey. The responses underwent frequencies, and the percentage calculation. The study results showed a generally affirmative perception of both groups on the citywide disaster preparedness campaign through DRRM programs. However, the community responses on four categories: (1) Disaster Legislation, (2) Vulnerability to Disaster, (3) Disaster or Emergency Awareness, and (4) Disaster or Emergency Preparedness were relatively high in the Iriga group, which indicated a relatively high level of involvement in DRRM programs and a high level of preparedness for disasters. The Valenzuela group turned out to be high in disaster legislation and moderate in the other three areas, which indicated a moderately high level of involvement and preparedness. Thus, more efforts were needed to increase community understanding and resiliency.

Full textAbstract:
Geodata, geographical information science (GISc), and GeoAI (geo-intelligence workflows) play an increasingly important role in predictive disaster risk reduction and management (DRRM), aiding decision-makers in determining where and when to allocate resources. There have been discussions on the ethical pitfalls of these predictive systems in the context of DRRM because of the documented cases of biases in AI systems in other socio-technical systems. However, none of the discussions expound on how to audit geo-intelligence workflows for biases from data collection, processing, and model development. This paper considers a case study that uses AI to characterize housing stock vulnerability to flooding in Karonga district, Malawi. We use Friedman and Nissenbaum’s definition and categorization of biases that emphasize biases as a negative and undesirable outcome. We limit the scope of the audit to biases that affect the visibility of different housing typologies in the workflow. The results show how AI introduces and amplifies these biases against houses of certain materials. Hence, a group within the population in the area living in these houses would potentially miss out on DRRM interventions. Based on this example, we urge the community of researchers and practitioners to normalize the auditing of geo-intelligence workflows to prevent information disasters from biases.

Full textAbstract:
Communication is critical in all areas of disaster risk reduction management (DRRM). Efficient and comprehensive information is essential to minimize unanticipated and unexpected economic and social repercussions and increase the response's effectiveness. Furthermore, the local government unit should discuss youth involvement in DRRM to develop inclusive policies. Thus, this study examines 752 typhoon-and-flood-related textual suggestions of youth leaders and volunteers from different typhoon and flood communities in Metro Manila, Philippines to discuss emerging themes on DRRM. Using Google Forms, this study gathers suggestions regarding the disaster governance measures of the participant's respective communities. Youth leaders' and volunteers' suggestions for better disaster preparedness revealed seven thematic recommendations including the need for more robust early warning systems, information campaigns, capacity building and tactics for increasing personal preparedness. Filipino values such as damayan (to give sympathetic support), pakikipagkapwa (having a sense of shared identity) and bayanihan (a spirit of communal unity) have also emerged from the suggestions. The role of women and persons with disability was also a repeated theme that will empower them in times of disaster. Overall, this study provides initial insight into youths' role in increasing inclusivity in local government and communities' decision-making processes on disaster risk reduction management.

Full textAbstract:
This study assessed the vulnerability and coping capacity to disaster risks of selected barangays in Mandaon, Masbate, Philippines in 2013. The study made use of a descriptive survey method wherein survey-questionnaire based on the National Disaster Risk Reduction Management Framework (NDRRMF) was used in data collection. Statistical tools included frequency count, percentage, and rank order. The data on age, gender, member per household, and income were assessed using the dependency ratio, female-to-male ratio, and poverty index. The DRRM programs implemented were analyzed by comparing them to the DRRM Framework by FAO. Results revealed that selected barangays were vulnerable to disaster risks, and the people had low coping capacity based on their age with a dependency ratio of 68.2%. In the gender component, the females are less resilient with a 1:1 ratio. In terms of income, the barangays are found to be vulnerable to the fact that 50% of the total households are found to be living below the poverty line (about $1/day/person). The programs, projects, and activities implemented by the agencies and organizations of the government are under the category of prevention, mitigation, and preparedness only based on the DRRM Framework. The barangays are also vulnerable since there are no programs yet related to response, rehabilitation, and recovery that are implemented.

Full textAbstract:
The Island Province of Catanduanes is prone to all types of natural hazards that includes torrential and heavy rains, strong winds and surge, flooding and landslide or slope failures as a result of its geographical location and topography. RA 10121 mandates local DRRM bodies to “encourage community, specifically the youth, participation in disaster risk reduction and management activities, such as organizing quick response groups, particularly in identified disaster-prone areas, as well as the inclusion of disaster risk reduction and management programs as part of youth programs and projects. The study aims to determine the awareness to disaster of the student of the Catanduanes State University. The disaster-based questionnaire was prepared and distributed among 636 students selected randomly from different Colleges and Laboratory Schools in the University The Catanduanes State University students understood some disaster-related concepts and ideas, but uncertain on issues on preparedness, adaptation, and awareness on the risks inflicted by these natural hazards. Low perception on disaster risks are evidently observed among students. The responses of the students could be based on the efficiency and impact of the integration of DRR education in the senior high school curriculum. Specifically, integration of the concepts about the hazards, hazard maps, disaster preparedness, awareness, mitigation, prevention, adaptation, and resiliency in the science curriculum possibly affect the knowledge and understanding of students on DRR. Preparedness drills and other forms of capacity building must be done to improve awareness of the student towards DRRM. The study further recommends that teachers and instructor must also be capacitated in handling disaster as they are the prime movers in the implementation of the DRRM in education. Preparedness drills and other forms of capacity building must be done to improve awareness of the student towards DRRM. Core subjects in Earth Sciences must be reinforced with geologic hazards. Learning competencies must also be focused on hazard identification and mapping, and coping with different geologic disaster.

This study investigated the preparedness levels and practices of educational institutions in the Cordillera Administrative Region, particularly in response to natural disasters such as earthquakes and typhoons. Schools play a crucial role in community resilience, serving as centers for information dissemination and support during emergencies. The research aimed to assess disaster preparedness, awareness, and coping mechanisms among students, teachers, and administrators. Employing a mixed-methods approach, the study gathered data through surveys, interviews, and educational assessments. Participants included 31 administrative personnel, 327 College of Teacher Education students, and 15 NSTP instructors. The study examined the relationship between disaster risk reduction and management (DRRM) awareness and demographic profiles, identifying key challenges faced during and after disasters. The Input, Process, and Output (IPO) framework was used to evaluate school resilience across thematic areas such as Disaster Prevention and Mitigation, Preparedness, Response, and Rehabilitation. Findings revealed varying levels of preparedness, with gaps in DRRM awareness and implementation. Schools demonstrated strengths in response mechanisms but required improvements in long-term mitigation strategies. Additionally, coping strategies differed among stakeholders, highlighting the need for tailored interventions. The study underscores the importance of integrating comprehensive disaster risk reduction measures in educational institutions to enhance resilience and safeguard school communities. By providing valuable insights into school preparedness, this research contributes to policy development and the improvement of DRRM programs. Strengthening awareness, readiness, and response capabilities can significantly enhance the safety and well-being of students, teachers, and administrators in disaster-prone regions.

Full textAbstract:
This study assessed the disaster risk reduction and management mechanisms of schools in the province of Bukidnon, analyzed the adequacy and gaps of the disaster risk reduction and management mechanisms implemented in schools, and proposed a model of school-based disaster risk reduction and management network. The findings showed that the five priority actions established by the Hyogo Framework for Action on which the Department of Education Manual was anchored were not substantially achieved. Moreover, the DRRM mechanisms on disaster prevention, disaster mitigation, and disaster preparedness were fairly adequate, while disaster preparedness was somewhat adequate. Based on the findings, an integrated model of school-based disaster risk reduction and management (SBDRRM) network of vulnerable communities was proposed emphasizing a bottom-up approach, three-focal point system representing the susceptible areas under the school divisions of Bukidnon, Malaybalay and Valencia, multisectoral collaboration, and inclusion of DRRM in school curricula.

Background. The study aimed to determine the extent of implementation of the disaster risk reduction management activities on flooding in the areas of prevention and mitigation, preparedness, response, and rehabilitation and recovery in the flood-prone communities in a highly urbanized city in the Philippines as assessed by DRRM implementers and community leaders. Likewise, it identified the challenges in implementing the disaster risk reduction management activities on flooding encountered by the implementers. The study sought if there is a significant difference in the extent of implementation of disaster risk reduction management in the area of prevention and mitigation, preparedness, response and recovery when respondents are grouped according to income classification, population size, and land area. Method. In this study it use a descriptive-comparative research approach. The respondents were the DRRM implementers and community leaders of flood-prone communities in a highly urbanized city in Central Visayas. They were determined using incidental sampling. Before conducting the study,the request letter stipulating the nature and the details of the research of the Implementation of Disaster Risk Reduction Management Activities on flood prone areas in Central Visayas was obtained. After which the researcher prepares the questionnaire to be distributed to the proper respondents. Before answering the actual research instrument, the identified respondents were advised about the study, specifically its purpose, scope, nature and the parts of the questionnaire. They were ask to answer the questionnaire and the data collection proper commenced after the agreement. After the data collection, they submit the questionnaire and treated with confidentiality with respect to the respondent of the study. The information gathered was analyzed with the help of the statistician. Descriptive and comparative analysis were utilize using the appropriate statistical tools in analyzing and interpreting the data on the implementation of disaster risk reduction management activities in flood-prone communities of a highly urbanized city in Central Visayas. Results. Overall the extent of implementation of DRRM activities in flood-prone communities as a whole is great extent. In terms of the thematic areas, recovery is in moderate extent, while the other areas are great extent. There is no significant difference in the extent of implementation of DRRM activities in flood-prone communities when respondents are grouped according to income, population and land area in all the thematic areas except for preparedness. Improper disposal of solid waste by the local people is the most common challenge observed in prevention and mitigation by the respondents. Delayed implementation of city/barangay projects for disaster risk reduction is the most common challenge observed in preparedness by the respondents. In response, delayed responsive action is the most common challenge observed by the respondents. Lastly, in recovery, the lack of local attention to those affected people is the most common challenge observed by the respondents. Overall, Improper disposal of solid waste by the local people is the most common challenge observed on the DDRM activities on flooding. Conclusion The great extent of the implementation of disaster risk reduction management activities in flooding revealed a need for continuous improvement in terms of disaster preparedness, prevention and mitigation, response, and recovery. Moreover, when respondents were grouped according to income, population, and land area, these variables showed no significant difference. This implies that regardless of their categories, the implementation of both classes showed no significant difference, except for the thematic area of preparedness. This means that the implementers are resilient and objective driven in their assignments on DRRM activities on flooding. There is also room for improvement where the implementation of DRRM activities on flooding can be improved up to a very great extent. In the area of preparedness, the implementers and community leaders must focused on the difference on the variables for the reason that regardless of income, population or land area, the implementers and community leaders must focus and implement all the thematic areas of the DRRM activities on flooding especially in the area of preparedness. The implication on the result reflects the actual implementation by our implementers and community leaders and can be basis for future studies. Limitation of Findings. The study's findings are limited since the study was conducted in a highly urbanized city in the Visayas. They do not reflect the opinion of the office where the respondents are employed or served. They do not also reflect the opinion of the City of Bacolod and the barangays involved in this study. This study also identified the challenges in implementing disaster risk reduction management activities on flooding. Other limitation on the findings is other persons did not give their approval to be subjected to the study. There is also limitation to the sampling and instrument since only incidental sampling is used and not stratified random sampling. The interpretation of the results in the study in not approximate in the result on the actual implementation of the activities. There are also limited studies relating to the extent of implementation on DRRM activities in flood prone areas. Lastly, the study is limited to only 102 respondents which only a small number compared to the implementers and community leaders in the whole city. Practical Application. The researcher proposed a Strategic Plan to strengthen the implementation of the DRRM activities on flooding in their local communities. Furthermore, observing these proposed programs, projects, and activities would create a positive outlook for the community and reach a very great extent of implementation to ensure that they follow all the measures all the time for their safety. Direction for Future Research They may explore other variables that affect the implementation of disaster risk reduction management activities in flooding. Moreover, another study may be conducted exploring the DRRM measures and fund utilization of the community leaders in addressing disaster-related concerns. Furthermore, the future researchers can enhance their research by lifting the limitations mentioned in this study. An example is to involve many respondents and barangays or choose a more sound sampling instrument to the study.

Disasters occur worldwide that affect many people and cause loss of life and destruction. The Philippines is considered one of the most frequently affected by natural calamities. It is also the third most disaster-prone country that costs billions of losses in the economy. Typhoon Haiyan, or the Super Typhoon Yolanda, one of the disastrous and strongest storms ever hit the country, brought massive destruction and casualties in the Philippines. Banks were also greatly affected during that time. This research focused on the extent of implementation of the Disaster Risk Reduction Management (DRRM) practices and the level of awareness of the bank employees of the universal banks in Bacolod City. It will contribute knowledge about Disaster Risk Reduction Management, especially on banks, and fill the literature gap. It aimed to determine whether there is a significant difference in the level of awareness of the employees and the extent of DRRM practices of the bank and whether there is a significant relationship between the two.

The study determined the Level of Implementation of Disaster Risk Reduction and Management (DRRM) in Flood-Prone Areas in Camarines Sur, Philippines. Specifically, the study focused on the level of implementation and problems encountered in four thematic areas of DRRM, namely: Prevention and Mitigation, Preparedness, Response, and Rehabilitation and Recovery. The Descriptive-Evaluative Inferential Method was used in the study. A five-point Likert scale questionnaire was used in gathering the data. The reliability of the questionnaire was determined by means of Kuder Richardson Formula. The same was validated by academic experts well-versed in the topic and disaster management practitioners. Purposive or selective sampling was used in choosing the MDRRMC while convenience sampling was the sampling technique used for community residents. One hundred twenty-one (121) members of the Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council and three hundred (300) residents in flood-prone areas in Camarines Sur, Philippines were the respondents of the study. The population represented by the 300 respondents were household members specifically, the head of the family. Frequency count, percentage, rank, weighted mean, and Wilcoxon Mann Whitney U-Test were the statistical tools used in the study. Findings revealed that DRRM Programs were implemented in flood-prone areas in Camarines Sur namely, Milaor, San Fernando, Libmanan, Sipocot, Camaligan, Canaman, Magarao, Buhi, Nabua and Iriga City. Conversely, some of the problems encountered by the respondents on four thematic areas rated as “Serious” were: lack of community drills, inadequate disaster facilities and equipment, poor implementation of laws, absence of Standard Operation Manual, inadequate community warning system, lack of disaster response vehicles, and the reluctance of residents to pre-emptively evacuate.

This study assesses the implementation of disaster preparedness programs in a rural state university system in the Philippines, in line with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly SDG 11 (Sustainable Cities and Communities) and SDG 13 (Climate Action). It aims to evaluate preparedness levels and identify factors that influence the resilience of under-resourced higher education institutions. A mixed-methods design was adopted to capture both quantitative indicators and qualitative insights, ensuring a comprehensive understanding of disaster risk reduction efforts in a rural academic setting. This study involved 538 participants across four university campuses. Stratified random sampling was used to select students and faculty, while purposive sampling was applied to DRRM officers, deans, and program chairs. Data were collected using an adapted tool based on the UN International Strategy for Disaster Risk Reduction, and challenges were identified using the Asian Disaster Preparedness Center guidelines. Quantitative data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, Mann-Whitney U, and Kruskal-Wallis H tests. At the same time, qualitative insights from focus group discussions were thematically coded based on Braun and Clarke [1] framework. The results revealed high levels of preparedness in facilities, training, and programs. While no significant differences were found by gender, age, and campus location significantly influenced preparedness levels, with Campus B showing the highest scores. Major challenges included resource limitations, coordination issues, and technical constraints. Despite these, DRRM officers demonstrated a strong commitment to program improvement and innovation. This study contributes to the principles outlined in the Disaster Studies Manifesto by emphasizing the critical role of local institutions in building disaster resilience. It advocates for integrating DRRM into education and governance systems, positioning rural state universities as key actors in promoting community preparedness and sustainable development.

Full textAbstract:
This phenomenological inquiry explored women’s lived experiences from the coastal and upland communities of Sagñay, Camarines Sur, Philippines. Data sources were transcripts of in-depth individual interviews and focus group discussions. Findings suggest that women are vulnerable to disasters due to their socio-economic and geographic conditions, as reflected in the four emerging central themes of psychological, economic, and physical distress; women’s roles in the domestic disaster phases; coping strategies, and the need for long-term and comprehensive disaster management programs. Coping strategies applied before, during, and after disasters have helped them survive disaster effects to a certain extent. However, they cannot escape the constant exposure to environmental hazards as long as there are geographic and socio-economic barriers. Hence, women’s high vulnerability to disasters is confirmed positively, as revealed in their shared narratives. Implications to policies in Disaster Risk Reduction and Management (DRRM) include strengthening mechanisms to increase their involvement in the DRRM stages and increasing their resilience and those of their communities through sustainable programs and activities.

Full textAbstract:
The present investigation was aimed to develop restorer lines for three-line hybrid rice using indica/tropical japonica derivatives to exploit the inter sub-specific heterosis. From 75 F4 families of CB174R/Azucena, two plants were randomly selected and screened using simple sequence repeat markers DRRM-RF 3 -10 for Rf3 gene and RM6100 for Rf4 gene. One hundred and five plants possessing either or both of the genes were test crossed with CMS line COMS 23A. In 67 hybrids evaluated, the mean pollen fertility ranged from 97.3% (CB174R/Azucena 177-4-9) to 13.7% (CB174R/Azucena 13-2-4). The frequency of restorers was high (49.25%) followed by partial restorers (29.85%) and partial maintainers (20.90%). The selection efficiency for DRRM- RF3-10 and RM6100 markers were 75.75% and 54.54% respectively. Segregation for fertility restorer genes and pollen fertility among individual plants within a family was witnessed from molecular and phenotypic data. Based on phenotypic and marker information, it was concluded to advance 53.3% of plants to F5 generation to isolate stable restorer lines that can be exploited in future to produce highly heterotic three-line hybrids in rice.

Full textAbstract:
This study aimed to evaluate the earthquake preparedness at one state university in the Philippines. Utilizing a descriptive research design, the study employed an evaluation form from the university's DRRM, focusing on five phases: alarm, building exit, evacuation safe zone, room stability safety check, and technical/logistics. Data were collected during the nationwide simultaneous earthquake drills in the first semester of the 2023-2024 academic year. The results revealed commendable preparedness in the alarm phase, with high scores for siren system availability and student response. However, areas for improvement were identified, particularly in students' execution of safety procedures during alarms. The faculty demonstrated readiness in guiding evacuations, but students' behavior during evacuations indicated a need for enhancement in seriousness and appropriateness. Overall, the earthquake drill’s team showed high preparedness in evacuation procedures, room safety checks, and technical/logistics aspects. The study recommends orientation and re-orientation sessions for students, improvements in signage visibility, and consistent maintenance of technical resources. Furthermore, the implementation of targeted plans and programs focusing on emergency protocols and behavioral responses is advised. Future research should explore the interrelationships among DRRM mitigation, response, and rehabilitation levels within the university context.

This paper focuses on the accountability of disaster preparedness and response of two cities in Metro Manila, Philippines. The paper draws a lesson from the experiences of two highly urbanized cities in Metro Manila and how coordinated efforts in disaster preparedness and response among the members of the City Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Councils (CDRRMC) were accounted for. This paper provides a deeper understanding of how city governments fulfill their commitments and responsibilities to disaster victims during disaster preparedness and response. This study utilized key informants interviews and focus group discussions among key members of CDRRMC and review of existing laws and relevant policies. The upward vertical accountability is well established as this involves members of the City DDRM Councils as the council members are accountable to their respective City Mayors. Downward vertical accountability is not well defined as this refers to the accountability of DRRM frontline service workers to the disaster victims. The horizontal accountability among members of the City DRRM Councils is yet to be established as this involves different department heads who are at the same level of power and authority. The paper provides fresh insights on the vertical and horizontal accountability in disaster governance of cities in Metro Manila.

Disaster risk reduction and management (DRRM) as a course in basic education aims to raise the student’s awareness of what to do before, during, and after a disaster using contextualized modules. The contextualization and validation of these modules considered legal bases and statutory standards in terms of learning competency, content, language, assessment, format, and technical specifications. The student’s performance and end users’ feedback and suggestions were used as bases for evaluating the developed modules. The descriptive method thru the instrumentation technique of research followed the process of module development from the planning phase to the evaluation following the analysis, design, development, implementation dan evaluation (ADDIE) model while the module sections used the Kolb’s model. The respondents were senior high school students in the Science curricular program of Echague National High School and Isabela State University, Isabela, Philippines. The findings showed a good agreement among experts’ ratings and ascertained compliance with the learning resources guidelines of the Department of Education, Philippines. The student’s performance on their post-test was significantly higher than their pre-test scores. The student’s interests and learning engagement were very high as shown in their performance in activities and assessments. The contextualized DRRM modules are recommended for classroom use for on-site and distance learning modalities.

Climate-related hazards pose significant threats to communities worldwide, necessitating all governments to be at all times on high alert. Local governments, as required by law, should implement measures that would mitigate risk exposure to their constituents. This study utilized three research-made data gathering tools. Results revealed that the tasks of the Barangay (Village) Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Committees (BDRRMCs) in the river basin communities on disaster preparedness were at the low level. As a whole, the performance of the BDRRMCs is poor (2.45). This is broken down into building of competencies (poor = 2.72) and acquisition of hardware and supply (poor = 2.18). The results indicate that the BDRRMC leadership of the Tagoloan River Basin (TRB) communities has very limited capability with respect to its level of BDRRM Committee performance in the context of Building of Competencies as a component of disaster preparedness. The data also imply that the tools/facilities/materials, as sub-indicators of BDRRMC according to disaster preparedness, are not fully in existence and not available to many of the TRB barangays. There is a cogent need for all government offices handling the DRRM functions to provide appropriate attention at the community level for the proper implementation of the DRRM Plan.

Full textAbstract:
Threat to safety and security is the new norm faced by the Local Government Units. Climate-related hazards, especially in the barangays within the Tagoloan River Basin (TRB) area, are now part of the realities of the residents. The importance of governance as a catalyst of change in managing the community is to become responsive to the new order of the environment and the demands of public service. Results revealed that the tasks of the Barangay (Village) Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Committees (BDRRMCs) in the river basin communities on disaster response were partially accomplished. As a whole, the performance of the BDRRMCs is generally satisfactory (3.19). This is broken down into ‘upon alert’ (satisfactory = 3.36) and ‘during alert’ (satisfactory = 3.02). The findings further revealed that the performance of the BDRRMC in disaster response is significant when the Punong Barangay’s (Village’s Head) educational attainment, BDRRMC budget and community’s experience in flood are higher. The FGD responses indicated that the TRB barangays have issues and concerns considering the appropriate disaster response during imminent danger (upon alert) and disaster. There is a cogent need for all government offices handling the DRRM functions to provide appropriate attention at the Barangay level to properly implement the DRRM Plan.

Full textAbstract:
This study provides a comprehensive assessment of Disaster Risk Reduction and Management (DRRM) program implementation in Catanduanes, Philippines, a region highly vulnerable to natural hazards. Adopting a descriptive-comparative quantitative research design, the study investigates the perceived implementation of the program from the perspectives of program providers (43 municipal and barangay officials) and beneficiaries (401 household heads). The assessment spans the four thematic areas of DRRM: prevention and mitigation, preparedness, response, and rehabilitation and recovery. Guided by Stakeholder Theory and Systems Theory, and utilizing an Input-Process-Output (IPO) model, the research quantifies perceptual differences and aims to offer strategic recommendations. Using weighted mean and z-tests for independent samples, data analysis reveals consistent disparities, with providers generally reporting higher implementation levels than beneficiaries. Key findings indicate strong perceived implementation in "Increase of awareness and capacity" and "On-time safe evacuation," but significant gaps in areas like infrastructure resilience and access to disaster financing. These perceptual gaps underscore challenges in coordination, trust, and program impact. The study emphasizes the critical need for inclusive, evidence-based assessments that integrate lived experiences with institutional metrics. The proposed strategic action plan aims to bridge these identified gaps, fostering more resilient and context-sensitive disaster governance in Catanduanes.

Disaster preparedness and risk reduction are recognized as fundamental actions for creating a safe future and for reducing the severity of losses during disasters. In this context, DRRR education was included in the curriculum of the K-12 Basic Education Curriculum. Innovative use of the problem-based learning (PBL) approach was applied as a pedagogical approach in DRRR subjects in this study. It was used to test how effective is the PBL approach in engaging the respondents to propose and suggests feasible solutions to the identified community hazards. Further, to assess if the academic profile relevant to the basic concept of hazards of the respondents will significantly become more positive before and after exposing the students to the PBL approach. The research utilizes data analysis with a One-Group Pretest Posttest Design. Thirty-one (31) Grade 11 STEM students from Rosario National High School enrolled in the DRRR subject are the participant of this research. The research runs for the entirety of the SY 2018-2019 second semester. Its procedure was divided into three phases; Phase 1: conduct a pre-test without the PBL approach. Phase 2: the development of the learning tasks in DRRR lessons using the PBL approach Phase 3: conduct post-tests after the participants took the learning tasks in DRRR lessons using the PBL approach. The study revealed that students exposed to the PBL approach gain higher grade ratings from satisfactory to outstanding. There is a significant increase in the problem-solving skills of the students at 0.05 after being taught using the PBL approach on concepts of hazards and how to identify them in the community. PBL approach is significantly effective in engaging the respondents to propose and suggests feasible solutions to the identified community hazards. The proposed action plan should be realized to enhance the student’s academic performance in DRRM lessons using the PBL approach.

Metro Naga is primarily composed of Naga City and its surrounding municipalities in the province of Camarines Sur. It is located within the heart of Bicol’s largest river basin area and is considered a flood-prone region. This provides challenges to the government agencies responsible for implementing climate change programs. The study utilized the descriptive-evaluative design of mixed methods of research to evaluate the community participation in the current programs and campaigns for Disaster Risk Reduction Management (DRRM) and Climate Change Adaptation (CCA). Information was gathered through Structured questionnaires, guided interviews, and focus group discussions (FGDs) from the randomly selected respondents of the four (4) Municipalities of Metro Naga. Based on the findings of the study, community residents only participated “often” on the DRRM and CCA programs ( = 2.94) and the problems encountered in its implementation were no access to effective and applicable disaster risk financing and insurance (90%) and lack of initiative from the community to rebuild and repair the houses/buildings destroyed by the disaster (28%). As a result, continuous campaigns on community involvement in disaster risk reduction and climate change adaptation should be established. The adoption of community-based disaster risk reduction management will give opportunities to the community residents to be equipped with the skills and knowledge needed to be adaptive and disaster resilient.

The study on “Environmentally Responsible Behavior and Disaster Preparedness Among Public Elementary School Teachers” is conducted in Lucena City Division consisting of 135 teachers in public elementary teachers in Brgy. Gulang- Gulang. The purpose of this study is to determine the relationship between environmentally responsible behavior and disaster preparedness. The Descriptive-Correlational research design was adopted and the statistical tools such as mean and standard deviation were utilized to test the relationship of the independent and dependent variables. The research findings prove that environmentally responsible behavior has a significant relationship with the disaster preparedness of teachers. This study recommends: Enhancing a Disaster Preparedness Committee or Crisis Management Committee composed of the school head, teachers, and PTA officers and identifying their duties and responsibilities in terms of disaster preparedness. Enhance a simple andclear DRRM plan suited to the school's risks and vulnerabilities. Strengthen regular or scheduled drills and training to familiarize learners, educators, and employees with emergency procedures. Provide emergency supplies such as first aid kits, flashlights, batteries, bottled water, and non-perishable food. Strengthen disaster awareness into the school curriculum to ensure that learners understand the possible hazards as well as how to mitigate them. Regularly assess and update the school's DRRM planning to reflect on changes in the school environment, such as infrastructure improvements and modifications.

This study investigates the relationship between the implementation of Psychosocial Support Activities (PSA) and the psychosocial readiness and well-being of learners participating in in-person classes in the Second Congressional District of Bohol for the 2022-2023 school year. A total of 114 teachers and 114 learners were selected through simple random sampling. Utilizing a descriptive survey design, data were collected via questionnaires to assess PSA implementation levels, learners' psychosocial readiness, and psychosocial well-being. Spearman’s Rank Correlation Coefficient was employed to analyze the relationships among these variables. Results indicated a very high level of PSA implementation, suggesting effective school practices. Furthermore, learners exhibited very high psychosocial readiness, indicating strong psychological, social, and emotional preparedness for the learning environment. While PSA implementation did not significantly influence learners’ psychosocial readiness or well-being, a substantial positive correlation was found between the two latter variables. Based on these findings, the study advocates for integrating Basic Psychosocial Support into the School Disaster Risk Reduction and Management (DRRM) Contingency Plan, enabling educators to support students facing distress effectively. This research suggests the importance of psychosocial support in enhancing students' overall educational experiences and well-being institutionalizing psychological interventions and integrating Basic Psychosocial Support into School DRRM Contingency Plans to foster a holistic learning environment to enhance students’ capacity.

<strong>Abstract:</strong> <strong> </strong> This study assessed the readiness of community members in a 5th-class municipality in Iloilo for Disaster Risk Reduction Management (DRRM) during the first quarter of 2024 as a basis for an action plan. Using a descriptive research design and a researcher-made survey validated through Carter V. Good and Douglas E. Scates' evaluation criteria, data were gathered from 379 community personnel. Reliability testing was conducted in Canlaon City Division to 30 personnel using Cronbach alpha formula. Descriptive and comparative analyses were conducted using frequency, percentage, mean, and the Mann-Whitney U test. Findings indicate that demographic factors such as age, sex, educational attainment, and income significantly influence readiness levels. Older individuals, females, and those with higher education and income levels exhibit greater preparedness in prevention and mitigation. While overall readiness across DRRM phases—prevention, mitigation, preparedness, response, and rehabilitation—is high, gaps exist in training participation, disaster communication, and management of records and aid. Notably, education and income impact prevention and preparedness but not response and rehabilitation, where older males demonstrate higher readiness. These results underscore the need for tailored strategies addressing demographic variations and enhancing training, communication, and management practices to improve community resilience. <strong> </strong> <strong>Keywords:</strong> Disaster risk reduction and management, readiness of community members
