Undergraduate Thesis Bachelor of Science in Development Management major in Training Program Management. Cavite State University, Indang, Cavite April 2016. Adviser: Dr. Marietta C. Mojica. This study was conducted to determine the disaster preparedness of barangay officials in selected coastal areas in Cavite. Specifically, the study aimed to determine the a) demographic and socio-economic characteristics of the participants and their barangay; b) participants’ level of preparedness in terms of hazard knowledge; c) the barangay’s level of preparedness in terms of disaster formal and informal plans and agreements; d) level of preparedness in terms of supportive resources of the barangay officials for response; e) level of preparedness in terms of initiated life and safety protection; f) level of preparedness in terms of initiated recovery plans and/or measure; and g) the participants’ reasons for preparing or not preparing for disaster in their areas. The study used a descriptive research design. A total enumeration of 86 barangay officials in selected coastal areas served as the participants of the study. Data were gathered using a seven-part survey questionnaire. Among the three study areas, San Rafael IV in Noveleta had the largest land area while Muzon I had the smallest. San Rafael IV had the highest number of population, households and population at risk. Barangay 8 had the biggest budget total while San Rafael IV had the lowest. The total budget allocated for Disaster Risk Reduction was highest in Barangay 8 while San Rafael IV has the lowest. All the three barangays have cemented barangay halls. Barangay officials in the selected coastal areas of Cavite were mostly males, in their 40’s, married, and had high school level of education. Most of the officials were barangay tanod and had an average of 4.97 years in service. Majority of the respondents have no other designated positions. The average monthly income being a barangay official was P2, 030.00 while from other source of income such as fishing and driving, the monthly average income was a little bit higher amounting to P3, 390.00. Only few of them received additional benefits in the form of bonus and cash incentives. Among the five parameters of disaster preparedness, participants were “very prepared” in terms of hazard knowledge; formal and informal plans and agreements: Supportive resources and life and safety protection, and “somewhat prepared” in terms of initiation and recovery. In general, the level of preparedness of barangay officials was “very prepared”, Among the participants, only three (4%) responded that they were not preparing while 83 (96 %) said that they were preparing for a disaster. Two reasons given for preparing were to protect the life and safety of their constituents (73%) and because they attended seminars and training related to disaster (23%) The three who said that they were not preparing had no actual training (4%).

The study used a descriptive research design. A total enumeration of 86 barangay officials in selected coastal areas served as the participants of the study. Data were gathered using a seven-part survey questionnaire.

Among the three study areas, San Rafael IV in Noveleta had the largest land area while Muzon I had the smallest. San Rafael IV had the highest number of population,
households and population at risk. Barangay 8 had the biggest budget total while San Rafael IV had the lowest. The total budget allocated for Disaster Risk Reduction was highest in Barangay 8 while San Rafael IV has the lowest. All the three barangays have cemented barangay halls.

Barangay officials in the selected coastal areas of Cavite were mostly males, in their 40’s, married, and had high school level of education. Most of the officials were barangay tanod and had an average of 4.97 years in service. Majority of the respondents have no other designated positions. The average monthly income being a barangay official was P2, 030.00 while from other source of income such as fishing and driving, the monthly average income was a little bit higher amounting to P3, 390.00. Only few of them received additional benefits in the form of bonus and cash incentives.

Among the five parameters of disaster preparedness, participants were “very prepared” in terms of hazard knowledge; formal and informal plans and agreements:
Supportive resources and life and safety protection, and “somewhat prepared” in terms of initiation and recovery. In general, the level of preparedness of barangay officials was “very prepared”,

Among the participants, only three (4%) responded that they were not preparing while 83 (96 %) said that they were preparing for a disaster.
