Implementation of Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Program in Selected Schools in Region XII, Philippines
Hector Lavilles | Alma Hordista
Discipline: Education
Abstract:
This study determined the level of awareness of the teachers and administrators in natural and man-made
disasters as well as their level of preparation and implementation of the DRRM Program. The descriptivecorrelational research design was used in the study. The data were gathered through the questionnaire and
administered to 96 respondents. The data gathered were analyzed through weighted mean and Pearson
correlation. Results of the study showed a high awareness of teachers and administrators in natural and manmade disasters. The school personnel also prepared and implemented the DRRM Program. The study also
revealed significant relationships between the awareness of multiple disasters and preparation in the DRRM
Program as well as the preparation and implementation of the DRRM Program. Given the overall results, the
study may serve as a basis for schools to improve the implementation of the DRRM Program through higher
disaster awareness and preparation.
