Abstract

This descriptive study investigated the extent of implementation, success, and challenges of DRRM strategies of LGU San Jose, Occidental Mindoro by using stratified random sampling among 154 respondents who are members of the Barangay Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Councils (BDRRMCs). This covered the implementation in terms of prevention and mitigation, preparedness, response, and rehabilitation and recovery; level of success in reduction in disaster impact, community awareness and participation and resilience and quick recovery; and extent of challenges in education and information, manpower, equipment and facilities, and institutional coordination. This also analyzed the relationship between implementation, success, and challenges of the DRRM of LGU San Jose. Weighted mean and correlation analyses were utilized in the study. The research instrument is a survey questionnaire crafted by the author and validated by experts. The study revealed that the extent of implementation of DRRM is high in all areas but highest in rehabilitation and recovery phase. In addition, the level of success is high in all indicators but highest in reduction in disaster impact. However, the level of challenges is also high in all factors and highest in the equipment and facilities. Lastly, the study found out that there is a significant relationship between all the variables which demonstrates that as the DRRM strategies are implemented, the level of success also elevates, however the level of challenges also increases which is inherent in implementation.
