INTRODUCTION
According to Asian Development Bank,
the Province of Southern Leyte is among the
10 most disaster-prone Province in the
Philippines. This study is about the Disaster
Preparedness in which the Southern Leyte
and the rest of the Western Visayas
experience natural disaster like earthquake,
etc.. Aims to enhance their knowledge in
terms of disaster preparedness.
 OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY
This study aimed to design and develop “An Android Mobile Application for Disaster
Preparedness in Pacific Area of Southern Leyte” that provide disaster
preparedness tips and SMS notification and online public Advisory for disaster.
The specific objectives were the following:
1. To evaluate the current system in the terms of
1.1 Maintainability;
1.2 Usability; and
1.3 Performance
2. To evaluate the proposed system in the terms of
2.1 Maintainability;
2.2 Usability; and
2.3 Performance
3. To identify the significant difference between current and proposed systems in
terms of
3.1 Maintainability;
3.2 Usability; and
3.3 Performance
METHODOLOGY
 Research design
The study utilizes the descriptive method. The
researcher constructed questionnaire to gather
data from respective respondents who are
residents and officer of MDRRMO in pacific

chosen randomly as unbiased representation
of the total population.
 Mean. Used to derive the central or average
value of the data. For the research, it is used to
determine the performance of the existing and
the proposed system based on the provided
categories.
 Paired Sample T-test. Used to determine the
significance difference between the performance
of the existing and the proposed system.
FINDINGS

Based on the result, there was significant

difference between the current and proposed
system. In terms of Maintainability, Usability
and Performance in the current system it was
fairly efficient while the Proposed system in
terms of Maintainability, Usability and
Performance it means excellent.
