Second, the Maguindanao del Norte administration must guarantee that its residents maximize the facilities for catastrophe resilience. Third, the Maguindanao del Norte should emphasize the correct distribution of suitable equipment to all of its towns. Fourth, the police, fire department, rescuers/volunteers, and barangay authorities should receive further training to improve their ability to assist their constituents during calamities. Fifth, the administration of Maguindanao del Norte must devote more time, expertise, intelligence, effort, funds, and dedication to make their local government unit a disaster-resistant community. Sixth, it is recommended that comparable studies be done in other locations.
