This study was conducted to determine the level of disaster preparedness of barangay officials in selected cities in the Province of Laguna, Specifically, the study aimed to: 1. Determine the demographic and socio-economic characteristics of selected barangays in the cities of Binan, San Pedro and Sta. Rosa in Laguna; 2. Identify the demographic and socio-economic characteristics of the barangay officials; 3. Determine the level of earthquake preparedness in terms of hazard knowledge; 4. Identify the level of earthquake preparedness in terms of barangay disaster formal and informal plans and agreements; 5. Determine the level of earthquake preparedness in terms of supportive resources acquired for response activities; 6. Assess the level of earthquake preparedness in terms of initiated life and safety protection; 7. Identify the level of earthquake preparedness in terms of initiated recovery plans and/or measures; 8. Determine the participants' reasons for preparing for a disaster in their areas; 9. Determine the relationship between demographic and socio-economic characteristics and level of earthquake preparedness of barangay officials in the West Valley Fault line System.
The study used a descriptive-correlation research design. The participants came from the nine barangays in three selected municipalities in Laguna. The authors used purposive sampling to determine the preparedness of participants per barangay. A total of 90 participants were interviewed from December 2018 to February 2019 using a survey questionnaire. Data analysis used frequent counts, mean, standard deviation percent, chi- square test and spearman rank. A 4-point Likert’s scale measured the level of preparedness in the seven dimension of earthquake preparedness.
The participants were "somewhat prepared" in four parameter and "very prepared" in two of the parameters used in this study. The grand mean obtained were follows: 1. Hazard knowledge (3.77); 2. Formal and Informal Plans and Agreements (3.79); 3. Supportive Resources (3.45); 4. Life and Safety Protection (3.44); 5. Initiation Recovery (3.44). ln general, the study revealed that barangay officials from the selected cities of Laguna had "very prepared' level of preparedness to earthquake disaster. The barangay officials of the three selected municipalities in Laguna were "very prepared" in terms of hazard knowledge, formal and informal plans and agreements, supportive resources, life and safety protection, and initiation recovery. This indicates that barangay officials had already felt that they already conducted the task stated or were doing the task already. Based on the findings of the study, the authors recommend that municipality should invest for the financial goals and lack of equipment of the barangays of earthquake, the barangay officials of selected municipality should prepare to solve problems during and after an earthquake. It also recommended that the barangay officials provide more necessities and prepare more in terms of Earthquake Preparedness. There must be continuous efforts among the government and various stake holders to promote and increase public awareness and preparedness regarding earthquake. Moreover, the local government of Laguna down to the barangay BDRRMC must work hand and hand in imparting more knowledge regarding preparing and dealing with an earthquake.
