Abstract:

Many public safety employees use the incident command system (ICS) as a way to put together and manage highly trustworthy temporary organizations at emergency scenes. Our inductive examination of an ICS installation in a fire department identified three crucial characteristics that allow this distinctly bureaucratic system to create remarkably adaptable and trustworthy organizations in challenging, dynamic job environments. This research will ascertain the extent of incident command system challenges of public schools on disaster risk reduction management for the school year 2021-2022 in the City Schools Division of Urdaneta. The study suggests new organizational structures may be able to leverage on bureaucracy's control and efficiency benefits while avoiding or overcoming its sluggish tendencies. The City Schools Division of Urdaneta's elementary school heads and the coordinators of the school's disaster risk reduction management services will be the respondents to the study. The methodology used by the researcher was descriptive. This is the appropriate course of action to take in order to best meet the unique difficulties of this study. Additionally, this analytical procedure gathers data to either address the current state of the investigation's issue or to confirm a hypothesis (which requires a significance threshold of 0.05). Furthermore, a straightforward random sampling was used in this inquiry. A subset of a population is picked at random in a basic random sampling. In this sampling procedure, each member of the population has an exact equal probability of being chosen. Overall findings indicate a weighted average of 4.46 (Much Challenged) across variables pertaining to the level of school heads' perception of the schools' disaster risk reduction management services.
