Abstract

This study aimed to asses disaster awareness and preparedness among teachers and learners of Amado M. Pitogo Memorial School, Upper Panul-iran, Abuno, Iligan City for the School Year 2023-2024. The output of the study was the school disaster risk reduction and management plan. It examined the socio-demographic profiles of respondents and their correlation with disaster awareness, preparedness, and awareness on school disaster capability building. Using a descriptive-correlational method, data were gathered from 116 learners and 10 teachers and an administrator. Results indicated that learners aged 11-12 years old represent the highest frequency, with males slightly outnumbering females. Grade 5 have the highest frequency among learners, while the majority of teachers were aged 41 and above, female, holding Teacher I positions, and with Master's level education. Regarding disaster awareness, respondents were extremely aware that disasters can happen anytime but showed less preparedness in terms of emergency kits. Similarly, while there were extremely aware regarding the presence of fire extinguishers, there were less confidence in knowing what to do during a fire incident. Notably, awareness of school disaster capability building is high, but participation in emergency planning was low. Statistical analysis revealed significant associations between disaster awareness, preparedness, and grade level of learners, indicating a need for targeted interventions. These findings highlighted the importance of considering demographic factors in disaster preparedness education and suggest avenues for improving school-based disaster management strategies and plans.
