Different statistical methods were used in the interpretation

of data. To answer problem number 1, sub-problem such as
sex, age, and type of respondents which sought to determine
the profile of the respondents, All were answered using
frequency counts and percentage.
• Percentage was operationally defined by the formula:
P= F/N X 100
where:
                        P= percentage
                        F= frequency
                        N= number of respondents
 To answer problem number 2 which pertains to the practices
employed in preparedness of DRRM; Problem number 3, level of
readiness of the respondents on DRRM; Problem number 3 the services
most transacted and inquired by the respondents regarding DRRM;
Problem number 4 the level of satisfaction of the respondents on the
DRRM in terms of Personnel,Practices, and Suggestions and
Recommendation ,weighted mean was used. Weighted mean was
operationally defined in this study as:
  where:
           f - is the frequency of each category (scale ) into likert type question.
          x - is the numerical weighted attached to each scale in the
questionnaire
          N - total number of respondents
          Ʃ - is the summation sign indicating that all entries are to be added
