STATUS AND IMPLEMENTATION OF DRRM IN FLOOD-PRONESCHOOLS IN THE DIVISION OF LAGUNAIntroductionThe Philippines is prone to allkinds of natural hazards becauseof its geographical location andphysical environment. Commonhazards associated with these areheavy rains, strong winds, strongsurge, flood and landslide (DepEdDRRR Manual, 2008).

STATUS AND IMPLEMENTATION OF DRRM IN FLOOD-PRONESCHOOLS IN THE DIVISION OF LAGUNAConclusionsThe flood-prone schools in the Division ofLaguna have the following: Overall DRRM programs. Resources for preparedness up torehabilitation, are available and partnersthat extend services in different formsand DRRM point persons with definedfunctions.

STATUS AND IMPLEMENTATION OF DRRM IN FLOOD-PRONESCHOOLS IN THE DIVISION OF LAGUNAConclusionsThe flood-prone schools in the Division ofLaguna have the following: Preparedness drills and other forms ofcapacity building were done but theawareness of three groups ofrespondents, namely, principals, teachersand students were more on “response”than on “prevention, mitigation, andpreparedness.”

STATUS AND IMPLEMENTATION OF DRRM IN FLOOD-PRONESCHOOLS IN THE DIVISION OF LAGUNAConclusionsThe flood-prone schools in the Division ofLaguna have the following: It was only the DRM coordinators whoare more concerned about the “before”conditions than the “during” and aftersituations. For every problem mentioned, there is nosingle solution suggested by respondents.

STATUS AND IMPLEMENTATION OF DRRM IN FLOOD-PRONESCHOOLS IN THE DIVISION OF LAGUNARecommendationsThe Department of Educationdetermine and address the needs of eachschool such as mobilization, structuralproject, funding and preparedness in time ofdisasters and anticipated calamities thatcould help in ensuring that each school andthe members of the communities will beable to cope and survive.

STATUS AND IMPLEMENTATION OF DRRM IN FLOOD-PRONESCHOOLS IN THE DIVISION OF LAGUNARecommendationsBased on the result of this study, itwould be better if DepEd will formulate aDRRM program to help flood-prone schoolsin the mitigation and adaptation.The SDRRM specifically for flood shouldbe specific to the school depending on theirexposure, proneness, and resourcesincluding human resources, partners andother factors that differ from school toschool.

STATUS AND IMPLEMENTATION OF DRRM IN FLOOD-PRONESCHOOLS IN THE DIVISION OF LAGUNARecommendationsHowever, based on the result of thestudy, there are items that should beincluded in all school-specific programs andthese are presented in the output of thisstudy.Further studies on the status andimplementation of SDRRMC andpreparedness of the teacher and students onNatural disaster and calamities are alsorecommended.
