CHAPTER 1
THE PROBLEM AND ITS BACKGROUND
Introduction
Preparing for disasters saves lives, helps people to recover faster, and saves
money. It is described as activities taken to guarantee that the resources needed
to respond effectively are accessible prior to a disaster or can be obtained
quickly if needed. Disaster preparedness is a health-promoting activity,
behavioral techniques have taken center stage as a method of achieving it.
Despite the fact that disasters harm hundreds of thousands of people every year
without notice, most people do not prepare until tragedy strikes. As a result, it
has become clear that a more broad-based behavioral change approach is
required. Effective disaster preparedness interventions necessitate a detailed
understanding of the elements that drive disaster preparedness behavior
performance or non-performance.
The Philippines ranked 17 th in the world as the most affected country from
extreme weather events in the Global Climate Risk Index (CRI) 2021. Philippines
got a score of 26.67 using 2019 data. The Global CRI is developed based on the
results of extreme weather. Weather events and the socioeconomic data that
goes with them. It represents the degree of sensitivity and exposure to extreme
events such as storms, floods, and heat waves, among others, which countries
should interpret as warnings in order to be prepared for more frequent and/or
more severe events in the future as a result of climate change. The countries
with the lowest CRI scores are listed below are the most affected, according to
the index. The Philippine Government has put in place interventions to reverse
environmental degradation and to improve the resiliency of the communities. This
is to alleviate the effects of the disasters and to ensure the effective application of
disaster risk depletion.
The National Climate Change Action Plan and the National Disaster Risk
Reduction and Management Plan were set with a long-term national sectoral

Las Piñas Campus
plan aiming to address four main priority areas as disaster prevention and
mitigation, disaster preparedness, disaster response, rehabilitation and recovery.
Theoretical Framework
The change to a proactive and preventive approach to disaster management is

reflected in this DRRM framework. Resources invested on disaster prevention,
mitigation, preparedness, and climate change adaptation will be more effective in
achieving the objective of catastrophe-resilient communities and long-term
development, as shown in this conceptual picture. Mitigating the potential
impacts of existing disaster and climate risks, preventing hazards and small
emergencies from becoming disasters, and being prepared for disasters,
according to the Framework, will significantly reduce the number of people killed
and the damage to social, economic, and environmental assets, among other

Las Piñas Campus
things. It also emphasizes the importance of competent and coordinated disaster

response and humanitarian assistance in order to preserve lives and protect the
most vulnerable during and after a disaster. Furthermore, following a calamity, it's
best to start over.
The spiraling arrows represent a bottom-up participatory process, a higher

degree of awareness, a stronger multi-stakeholder cooperation, and a pooling of
resources, as shown by the upward motion.
DRR is a way to (a) refocus development goals, objectives, and targets in order
to be able to appropriately respond to disaster risks; and (b) identify and
implement appropriate disaster risk mitigation initiatives. DRR's mainstreaming is
a crucial step in minimizing catastrophic losses caused by natural disasters. Risk
reduction investments are justified because they have the potential to avert or at
the very least reduce the tremendous costs of post-disaster recovery, repair, and
reconstruction.

Review of Related Literature and Studies
Foreign Literature
According to the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent
Societies (IFRC) disasters are severe disturbances to a community’s functions
that surpasses the community’s ability to cope up to the situation using its own
resources. Disasters occur when a natural or man-made danger and technical
risk strikes at a human settlement that is under-resourced or under-organized to
endure the impact, and whose population is susceptible due to poverty,
exclusion, or other forms of social disadvantage (Mitzuri, 2020).
The term "disaster preparedness" refers to a set of actions aimed at

making a community more resilient in the event of a disaster. When a calamity
strikes, such as during an earthquake, people's lives are put in jeopardy. The
ability to respond in an emergency to safeguard property and contain situation
damage and disruption caused by disasters, as well as the ability to participate in
post-disaster recovery efforts activities aimed at restoring the environment and
assisting with the early stages of recovery Efforts in preparedness focuses at
ensuring that all of the necessary resources for effectively responding in times of
disaster are in place, and those who are tasked to respond at a certain situation
knows how to use those resources. The usual activities related to disaster
preparedness include developing a planning process to ensure effectiveness,
formulating plans for disaster, gathering necessary resources to effectively
respond to the disaster that can occur, and enhancing individual skills to
effectively perform in times of disaster and other related tasks. (Sutton & Tierney,
2006)

Las Piñas Campus
The motivating ideas that underlie disaster management, namely

minimizing harm to people, property, and the environment, are generally the
same all over the world. The ability to carry out this mission, on the other hand, is
far from uniform. The terrible reality is that certain countries and regions are
better capable than others at solving the problem, whether for political, cultural,
economic, or other reasons. However, no nation, regardless of its riches or
power, is so evolved as to be completely immune to the harmful impacts of
calamities. Furthermore, as a result of the globalization of the economy, it is
becoming increasingly impossible to restrict the repercussions of disasters inside
a single country's borders (Coppola, 2007).
Disaster Preparedness provides for the key strategic actions that give
importance to activities revolving around community awareness and
understanding; contingency planning; conduct of local drills and the development
of a national disaster response plan. Risk-related information coming from the
prevention and mitigation aspect is necessary in order for the preparedness
activities to be responsive to the needs of the people and situation on the ground.
Also, the policies, budget and institutional mechanisms established under the
prevention and mitigation priority area will be further enhanced through capacity
building activities, development of coordination mechanisms.
The success and realization of this priority area rely heavily on the
completion of the activities under both the prevention and mitigation and
preparedness aspects, including among others the coordination and
communication mechanisms to be developed.
On-the-ground partnerships and the vertical and horizontal

coordination work between and among key stakeholders will contribute to
successful disaster response operations and its smooth transition towards early
and long-term recovery work. Disaster Preparedness entails essential strategic
initiatives such as community awareness and understanding, contingency
planning, local drills, and the creation of a national disaster response strategy. In
order for preparedness activities to be responsive to the requirements of the

Las Piñas Campus
people and the circumstances on the ground, risk-related information from the
preventative and mitigation aspects is required. Additionally, through capacity
building initiatives and the creation of coordination mechanisms, the policies,
budgets, and institutional processes developed under the preventative and
mitigation priority area would be reinforced.
Local Literature
According to Soriano G. P. (2019) with the topic” Disaster Risk Reduction
Knowledge among local people in a Selected Community in the Philippines,” the
Philippines has been designated as being extremely vulnerable to natural
disasters. As a result, strengthening communities' resilience to the risk and
negative consequences of natural disasters is critical for reducing vulnerability
and managing disasters. The study assessed disaster-related knowledge of local
people in a selected community, including (1) disaster preparedness and
readiness, (2) disaster adaptation, (3) disaster awareness, and (4) disaster risk
perception. Methods: A descriptive-cross-sectional study was used, and the 60
participants were chosen using a convenience sampling technique. The Disaster
Risk Reduction Know-How Scale was used to assess disaster risk reduction
knowledge.
Natural catastrophes and climate change have made the Philippines one
of the most susceptible countries in the world. The COVID-19 epidemic was not
the only tragedy to strike the Philippines in 2020. A volcanic eruption began the
year, and it ended with two magnitude 6 earthquakes, one of which struck on
Christmas morning. Typhoon Goni, a late-season superstorm that was the
strongest in the globe last year, came in between. Due to the archipelago's
location along both the route of tropical storms building in the western Pacific and
the Ring of Fire, at least 60% of the country's total land area, approximately
300,000 square kilometers (116,000 square miles), is exposed to natural
disasters.The National Exposure Database (NED), which identifies sensitive

Las Piñas Campus
locations so that agencies and local governments may conduct real-time analysis
and respond quickly in the event of a disaster, is the latest source of assistance.
It also aids in the development and implementation of disaster-preparedness
measures (Mina, 2021).
Knowingly how vulnerable the country is to catastrophes; a number of

government institutions have launched a series of applications to assist local
government officials in developing local disaster solutions. Mitigation efforts rely
on a constantly fine-tuned network of early-warning systems and the
establishment of procedures to respond more swiftly to natural disasters. The
National Exposure Database (NED), which identifies sensitive locations so that
agencies and local governments may conduct real-time analysis and respond
quickly in the event of a disaster, is the latest source of assistance. It also aids in
the development and implementation of disaster-preparedness measures (Mina,
2021).
It's critical to assess the level of awareness and preparedness among

those who are regarded school's external stakeholders. Awareness is often
linked to one's understanding of a phenomenon. Provided reputable sources of
information and authorities to him/her. Being knowledgeable or aware does not
always imply that a person is adequately prepared in the event of tragedies or
disasters, because logistics and infrastructure preparedness play a crucial role in
the preparation cycle (Maminta, 2019).
Sitting in the Pacific Ring of Fire, the Philippines is subject to regular

seismic and volcanic activity, and its location in the Pacific puts it in the direct
path of multiple typhoons each year.1 The Philippines is one of the world's most
disaster-prone countries, and it frequently ranks among the top three countries
most affected by disasters. The Philippines is projected to be affected by global
climate change in terms of changing weather patterns as well as rising sea
levels, which would have a negative impact on coastal towns and low-lying
metropolitan areas. Exposure, sensitivity, and adaptation capability are the three
aspects that make up climate change vulnerability. The term "direct exposure"

Las Piñas Campus
refers to a person's direct exposure to the effects of climate change, as well as

their frequency of exposure. "The degree to which a system will respond to a
particular change in climate, including favorable and detrimental impacts" is what
sensitivity is all about. (Mach,2020)
Foreign Studies
Measures done to prepare for and mitigate the effects of disasters

pertains to disaster preparedness. It necessitates a high level of preparation and
restriction that may have an influence on vulnerable persons, as well as the
ability to properly respond and cope with the consequences. Berl D. Jones Jr.
(2017) states in his study that disaster preparedness and response necessitate a
thorough understanding of the needs and approaches for disaster preparedness
and response. At the same time, these critical activities and approaches are
heavily influenced by contextual factors that determine both the scope and nature
of preparedness and response. Disaster preparedness and response is not
based on unconstrained flexibility to meet all needs. There are limits,
permissions, and definitions that apply at all levels of government and to nearly
all elements of preparedness, response, and recovery. In order to assure an
integrated response and a reduction in misunderstandings, all parties benefit
when the various authorities are understood and tested in exercises. (Shultz et
al. 2017).
Methods to follow for better execution are developed through disaster

preparedness. There are several procedural approaches to perform and conduct
for addressing a great plan for disaster response by institutions. Furthermore,
once informed and thoroughly imparted to the students and faculties, it will be
executed well and developed the preparedness towards disaster. As stated by
Tkachuck, M. (2016) with his study, The methods used were essential in the
initiation of what will become a much more comprehensive model of disaster

Las Piñas Campus
preparedness research. By first getting an idea as to where students stand in

regards to natural disaster preparedness, the institution and researchers can
move forward more effectively by applying a strong evidence-based framework to
both research methods and the dissemination and implementation of
preparedness techniques used within the institution.
Knowledge, attitude, and practices have a significant relationship and

positive intercorrelation. (Balila et al, 2017) Their study reveals that non-teaching
employees have a better attitude and practices for disaster preparedness than
students, but their knowledge is statistically comparable. It concludes that the
study's findings serve as the foundation for a disaster preparedness plan,
emphasizing the need for budget allocation for safety precautions and resources
required by the University.

Disaster Risk Reduction Knowledge among local people in a Selected

Community in the Philippines studied by Gil Platon Soriano that natural
catastrophes have been classified as a high risk in the Philippines. As a result,
strengthening communities' resilience to the risk and negative consequences of
natural disasters is critical for reducing vulnerability and managing disasters. The
study evaluated local residents' disaster-related knowledge, including (1) disaster
preparedness and readiness, (2) catastrophe adaptability, (3) disaster
awareness, and (4) disaster risk perception. Methods: The 60 participants were
chosen using a convenience sampling technique in a descriptive-cross sectional
study. The Disaster Risk Reduction Knowledge questionnaire was used to
measure disaster risk reduction knowledge. Frequency, percentage, mean,
standard deviation, and univariate linear regression were used to evaluate the
data. The findings of the study revealed that the residents of the chosen area are
kind and helpful.

Las Piñas Campus
Level of Awareness on Disaster Preparedness by Lucia G. Maminta,

many of the world's natural wonders may be found in the Philippines. It's a group
of islands. The Philippines are located in the Pacific Ring of Fire's basin . A
considerable number of earthquakes and volcanic eruptions occur between the
Eurasian and Pacific Plates. The country is also located near the equator, along
the Typhoon Belt. Because of its geographic location, it is vulnerable to
practically all forms of natural calamities . Typhoons, earthquakes, volcanic
eruptions, tsunamis, floods, landslides, droughts, and human-caused dangers
are all examples of disasters. The most devastating typhoons occurred in the
fourth quarter, from October to December, from 1992 to 2012 . Aside from these
directing facts, disasters have also stymied social and economic growth by re-
allocating cash from ongoing programs to help with disaster relief and
rehabilitation The Philippines' Natural Disaster Risk Profile is also represented in
the 2011 Global Assessment Report, which ranks the country third out of 173
countries, with a risk percentage of 27.98 for cyclones, earthquakes, tsunami,
floods, and landslides . The most devastating typhoons in Mindanao, particularly
in Iligan City, were typhoon Sendong in December 2011 and typhoon Pablo in
December 2012. Affected residents were relocated to several barangays
throughout the city. Mimbalot is one of the relocation areas identified. This is why
the Philippine Red Cross includes this location in their "CONSENT DRR"
initiative, the first stage of which is to collect data on the level of awareness.
Natural disaster preparedness in a multi-hazard environment:

Characterizing the sociodemographic profile of those better (worse) prepared by
Nicolás C. Bronfman, the expanding multi-hazard environment to which millions
of people around the world are exposed emphasizes the significance of
improving population preparedness. The goal of this study was to report on a
community's level of preparedness in the face of two natural catastrophes and to
determine the key sociodemographic characteristics of groups with varying levels
of preparedness. During the spring of 2015, a survey of 476 people from two
locations in the Atacama Region in northern Chile was undertaken. The
participants' level of preparedness at home and at work for two types of natural

Las Piñas Campus
hazards: earthquakes and floods, was assessed. The findings show that
participants are significantly better prepared for earthquakes than floods, which is
a serious warning to local authorities, given that earthquakes are more common
than floods.Floods have claimed the lives of the most people and destroyed the
most property in the region's recent history of natural disasters. Men reported to
be better prepared for floods than women, which the authors attribute to the
differences in the primary occupational sectors for men and women in the region.
The potential contribution of large corporations to community preparation in the
areas where they operate is examined. People between the ages of 30 and 59,
living with their partner and school-aged children, fit the sociodemographic profile
of individuals with the highest levels of readiness in an environment with many
natural risks. The results' implications for institutions in charge of designing
catastrophe risk reduction strategies, policies, and programs in a multi-hazard
setting are discussed.
Relevance of the Literature and Studies to the Present Study
The literature review is important to the present study because it describes

how the proposed research is related to prior research in statistics. It shows the
originality and relevance of the research problem. Specifically, the present study
or research is different from other statisticians. It justifies the proposed
methodology and demonstrates the preparedness to complete the research.
CHAPTER 2
METHODOLOGY
This chapter presents the methods and techniques, instruments and

respondents, and data processing and statistical treatment of the study.
Research Design
This research employs the descriptive method utilizing a survey form

research design. Quantitative research is described as a systematic analysis of

Las Piñas Campus
phenomena through the collection of measurable data and the application of

statistical, mathematical, or computational methods. Quantitative research
gathers data from current and potential customers by employing sample methods
and sending out online surveys, polls, and questionnaires, among other things
Research Instrument
The researcher will utilize online survey form questionnaires to the target
respondents which is the students and staff of the University of Perpetual Help
System DALTA Las Pinas Campus to know their level of disaster preparedness.
To get the appropriate needed data the given questionnaire consists of
four (4) different parts. Part 1 will be questions about the profile of the
respondents which can be answered optionally. Part 2 is questions that will
determine the level of disaster preparedness in terms of systems and
procedures, manpower resources, equipment, and logistics. Part 3 is to answer
what action plans may be formulated to enhance the disaster preparedness
among UPHSD Las Pinas Campus.
Validation of Research Instruments
The survey questionnaire will be designed on the concept reflected in the

statement of the problem. Guided by the standard principle and criteria of
questionnaire construction, the researcher will see to it that straightforwardness,
simplicity, agreement and emphasis in contacts are observed and form the style
which is also considered as guidelines in the design and development of items in
each part of the instrument.
In addition, the following procedure was undertaken in the process of validity of

the questionnaire.
First, the questionnaire will be shown to the research professor to validate,

analyze and observe the mechanics to improve the presentation of items. The

Las Piñas Campus
researcher also consulted some college professors, instructors and colleagues to

seek further comments and suggestions to the set of survey questionnaires.
When the improved draft was approved, with all the suggestions and
recommendations, it was presented to the adviser for further scrutiny and
improvement.
Finally, the pre-test method was conducted to determine the reliability and
validity of the survey questionnaire. The respondents in the pre-test were
instructed to answer the said research instrument and were given enough time to
answer.
The respondents then were asked if they clearly understood the contents of the
questionnaire. If not, they may request to elaborate what particular part of the
questionnaire they do not understand and it was simplified or revised if
necessary. The respondents in the dry-run were not included in the final selection
of the respondents
Population Sampling and Setting
The population of the study covered individuals who were within the
jurisdiction of the University of Perpetual Help System DALTA Las Pinas
Campus. The researchers will be gathering the needed data through a non-
probability sampling method under the convenience sampling type which will
mostly rely on the availability and proximity of the respondents to the
researchers.
Data Gathering Techniques

In order to collect data and distribute instruments, the following processes
were followed. First, the researcher wrote a communication letter to the
respondents in order to carry out the research. After that, the respondents were
briefed on how to accurately complete the survey questionnaires, and the survey
questionnaires were handed over to them. The researcher collected the surveys

Las Piñas Campus
after they were completed. The responses were then scanned, sorted, and
totaled. With the help of a research adviser and a professor. The data was
tabulated and computed, as well as evaluated and interpreted. The data was
displayed in tabular and textual form when the procedures were completed.
