THE LEVEL OF DISASTER RISK REDUCTION AND MANAGEMENT (DRRM) PROGRAM IMPLEMENTATION AMONG PUBLIC ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS: BASIS FOR A PROPOSED ‘OUR SCHOOL, OUR SAFE ZONE’ PROGRAM

April Grace Sabanal Baluran

Abstract


The study aimed to determine the level of Disaster Risk Reduction and Management (RDDM) Program Implementation of the three different districts in Polomolok South Cotabato. A cross-sectional survey was utilized in this study. The respondents were the 40 schools district coordinators of the three districts namely South, West, and East districts of Polomok, South Cotabato. It was found out that the level of Disaster Risk Reduction and Management in Districts 1, 2, and was high in terms of prevention and Migration. In terms of preparedness, the level of implementation of DRRM was high in District 1, moderate in District 3, while low in District 2. In terms of disaster response, the level of implementation of DRRM in Districts 1, 2, and 3 was high. In terms of recovery and rehabilitation, the level of implementation of DRRM was high in Districts 2, 3, while moderate in District 1. A proposed ‘Our School, Our Safe Zone’ program was crafted to address the gaps of the study.
