country experienced rough time given by the calamities. This is caused by the climate change
due to the gases that trap in our ozone layer caused by the pollution where human being creates
it given the best example is the plantation. The Philippines located at the ring of fire, where
most volcanoes are active, and also natural disaster such as floods, earthquake, fire, drought,
and storm that can affect the human resources and can lose lives. As a human being we need
safety and security in our lives in order for us to have a peaceful life and living. Disaster is
unpredictable that we don’t know when it’s occur. We, human need safety environment
include the safety from accidents/illness and their effects that’s why we need to be ready
This is common to the Maslow’s hierarchy of needs theory. This is focused only on the
second level of Maslow’s stage model which is safety and security needs. It refers to the need
for security and protection when we have our physiological needs for food and water met, our
safety needs have to do with our natural desire for predictable, orderly world that is somewhat
In DRRM, The barangay officials are held liable for the safety of the people during a disaster.
That is, there is a need for the barangay officials to fully exceed the limit of retrofitting aspects
and to provide training, seminars, and symposiums in the institution for the security and safety
(Castillo, 2011).
The scope of devastation caused by events led to an expansion of thinking about recovery,
not just the importance of mitigation and longer term recovery but of economic and
environmental impacts as well as the social and physical (Coghlan & Norman, 2004).
3. Level of Disaster Risk Reduction knowledge of Grade 11 students in Saint Michael College
of Caraga.
The Department of Education of the Philippines implements one of the provisions of the
Philippine disaster risk reduction and management act of 2010 (DRRM Act) to integrate
DRRM in the school curriculum and other educational programs, and to heighten the level of
resiliency of students toward natural disasters. Hence, this study was conducted to assess the
4. Disaster Preparedness among selected Barangays in Buenavista Nasipit Agusan del Norte.
People cannot totally prevent natural disasters to happen nor we can stop it when it
stuck us, but it is very important that we are prepared and take steps in mitigating the effect
by creating and totally implement a realistic Disaster Preparedness plan (Dela cruz, 2012).
4. The case study on “Barangay Government Disaster
Preparedness.
According to (Shaw et al.,) research about the effect of a school disaster education
previous findings, they found that school disaster education was effective in risk perception,
searching for information and intention to prepare for disaster but not for taking actual
preparedness measures. This study recommended making a link between the school and
community to build disaster resilience in both the community and among individual.

The concept of resilience has evolved from its initial emphasis on the general
(Holling, 1973), through an orientation toward coupled socioecological systems and questions
of adaptation of humans in nature (Carpenter et al., 1999, 2001; Walker, 1993; Walker et
al., 2002). In general terms, resilience is a characteristic of human (or social/societal) and
natural systems exhibiting a capacity to withstand and recover from an adverse shock or event
Keck & Sakdapolrak, 2013). In towns and cities, resilience is promoted through planning while
in nature, this trait is assumed inherent (Meadows, 2008; National Research Council, 2012).
While societal and ecological resilience are highly dependent on one another, an examination
of resilience literature reveals that one is often described without appreciation of the other or
in the context of their opposing roles (Handmer et al., 2012). Similarly, previous research
suggests that positive aspects of county and community quality of life are linked to not only
built environments but natural ones as well (Smith et al., 2012; Summers et al., 2012). Any

ensure that they are well tailored to the actual vulnerabilities and to the needs of the affected
people. Disasters undermine hard won development gains, destroying lives and livelihoods
and trapping many people in poverty (United Nations, 2008). Strengthening resilience and
preparedness is the first line of defence for the vulnerable in many risk-prone countries. Public
awareness-raising and public education help reduce disaster risk and improve disaster
preparedness. This allows people to become aware of their own risks, vulnerabilities and
capacities, and enables them to work for their own risk reduction and resilience building (Jan
Gelfand, 2013).

increased and improved collaboration amongst all stakeholders including governments, civil
society organizations and the private sector, as well as other humanitarian and development
practitioners. If we look to reduce the impact of disasters and reduce we must work together
for the benefit of safer, healthier and more resilient communities (Jan Gelfand, 2013).

10. IMPLEMENTING EDUCATION AMONG CRIMINOLOGY STUDENTS IN
Previous research has demonstrated that when children are supported by adults and are
provided with sufficient knowledge and skills they can protect themselves, save others from
danger, and promote significant changes in their communities that reduce the risk of disasters
(Back et al., 2009; Haynes & Tanner, 2015; Mitchell, T. et al., 2008; Tanner, 2010). Schools
have been identified as an effective place for children to build this culture of safety and risk
reduction (UN International Strategy for Disaster Reduction or UNISDR, 2008), especially
since nine out of 10 children of primary school age are in school (United Nations, 2014). 1
Education and knowledge has always been one of the priorities in the global commitment for
DRR, as highlighted in the Hyogo Framework for Action (HFA) 2005-2015 and its successor,
the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015-2030 (UNISDR, 2005, 2015c).

The world today faces other global challenges including population growth, unplanned
inequities, poverty and short-term economic vision (UNISDR, 2004). All of these factors
exacerbate the severity of disaster impacts, especially to children as the most vulnerable group.
Besides the physical risks of fatality, illness, and injury brought about by disasters, children are
also prone to psychological impacts and disasters often restrict their education, and thus
The most comprehensive review to date, including 60,000 victims of disasters across
demographic groups, shows that children are the most vulnerable group psychologically
(Norris et al., 2002). This is because children are highly susceptible to developmental
damage with disaster impacts affecting their characters and causing detrimental impacts on
their future (i.e. troubling life outcomes) (Lauten & Lietz, 2008).
Post disaster assessment reports showed that when disaster strikes, significant
numbers of schools are often damaged, and books and education records are lost or
destroyed decreasing the quality of services for the children (International Recovery
Platform, 2014; Sinclair, 2001). A further issue in this context is that if buildings are not
damaged, schools will often serve as temporary shelters for displaced people where they
remain until they can go back safely back to their settlements, thus further complicating
educational continuity (Sinclair, 2001). Children who are displaced by disaster and
consequently miss schooling, experience academic setbacks and show signs of withdrawal
(Johnson & Ronan, 2014; Pane et al., 2008; Redlener et al., 2010).
