Abstract:

This study assesses the capability of disaster risk reduction and manage-ment (DRRM) in Marikina City, Philippines, aiming to enhance disaster resilience through effective implementation of Republic Act 10121 the Phil-ippine Disaster Risk Reduction and Management (DRRM) Act of 2010. The research assesses Marikina City's implementation and challenges across disaster prevention and mitigation, disaster preparedness, disaster response, and disaster recovery and rehabilitation. Utilizing a quantitative methodology, data were collected from Marikina City Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office (MCDRRMO) personnel, barangay officials, and residents to evaluate implementation levels and identify challenges. This research contributes significantly to understanding local government DRRM capabilities in urban disasterprone areas. It provides valuable insights for policymakers and practitioners, highlighting effective practices and areas for further improvement. The study found that continuous capacity building, community engagement, and interagency collaboration are critical for strengthening Marikina City's resilience. It offers valuable recommendations for local policymakers and practitioners to address identified challenges and improve DRRM implementation."
