CHAPTER 1
THE PROBLEM AND ITS BACKGROUND

Introduction
Preparing for disasters saves lives, helps people to recover faster, and saves
money. It is described as activities taken to guarantee that the resources needed
to respond effectively are accessible prior to a disaster or can be obtained
quickly if needed. Disaster preparedness is a health-promoting activity,
behavioral techniques have taken center stage as a method of achieving it.
Despite the fact that disasters harm hundreds of thousands of people every year
without notice, most people do not prepare until tragedy strikes. As a result, it
has become clear that a more broad-based behavioral change approach is
required. Effective disaster preparedness interventions necessitate a detailed
understanding of the elements that drive disaster preparedness behavior
performance or non-performance.

The Philippines ranked 17 th in the world as the most affected country from
extreme weather events in the Global Climate Risk Index (CRI) 2021. Philippines
got a score of 26.67 using 2019 data. The Global CRI is developed based on the
results of extreme weather. Weather events and the socioeconomic data that
goes with them. It represents the degree of sensitivity and exposure to extreme
events such as storms, floods, and heat waves, among others, which countries
should interpret as warnings in order to be prepared for more frequent and/or
more severe events in the future as a result of climate change. The countries
with the lowest CRI scores are listed below are the most affected, according to
the index. The Philippine Government has put in place interventions to reverse
environmental degradation and to improve the resiliency of the communities. This
is to alleviate the effects of the disasters and to ensure the effective application of
disaster risk depletion.

The National Climate Change Action Plan and the National Disaster Risk
Reduction and Management Plan were set with a long-term national sectoral

College of Criminology Page |

 UNIVERSITY OF PERPETUAL HELP SYSTEM DALTA
Las Piñas Campus

plan aiming to address four main priority areas as disaster prevention and
mitigation, disaster preparedness, disaster response, rehabilitation and recovery.

Theoretical Framework

The change to a proactive and preventive approach to disaster management is

reflected in this DRRM framework. Resources invested on disaster prevention,
mitigation, preparedness, and climate change adaptation will be more effective in
achieving the objective of catastrophe-resilient communities and long-term
development, as shown in this conceptual picture. Mitigating the potential
impacts of existing disaster and climate risks, preventing hazards and small
emergencies from becoming disasters, and being prepared for disasters,
according to the Framework, will significantly reduce the number of people killed
and the damage to social, economic, and environmental assets, among other

College of Criminology Page |

 UNIVERSITY OF PERPETUAL HELP SYSTEM DALTA
Las Piñas Campus

things. It also emphasizes the importance of competent and coordinated disaster

response and humanitarian assistance in order to preserve lives and protect the
most vulnerable during and after a disaster. Furthermore, following a calamity, it's
best to start over.

The spiraling arrows represent a bottom-up participatory process, a higher

degree of awareness, a stronger multi-stakeholder cooperation, and a pooling of
resources, as shown by the upward motion.

DRR is a way to (a) refocus development goals, objectives, and targets in order
to be able to appropriately respond to disaster risks; and (b) identify and
implement appropriate disaster risk mitigation initiatives. DRR's mainstreaming is
a crucial step in minimizing catastrophic losses caused by natural disasters. Risk
reduction investments are justified because they have the potential to avert or at
the very least reduce the tremendous costs of post-disaster recovery, repair, and
reconstruction.

Review of Related Literature and Studies

Foreign Literature
According to the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent
Societies (IFRC) disasters are severe disturbances to a community’s functions
that surpasses the community’s ability to cope up to the situation using its own
resources. Disasters occur when a natural or man-made danger and technical
risk strikes at a human settlement that is under-resourced or under-organized to
endure the impact, and whose population is susceptible due to poverty,
exclusion, or other forms of social disadvantage (Mitzuri, 2020).

The term "disaster preparedness" refers to a set of actions aimed at

making a community more resilient in the event of a disaster. When a calamity
strikes, such as during an earthquake, people's lives are put in jeopardy. The
ability to respond in an emergency to safeguard property and contain situation
damage and disruption caused by disasters, as well as the ability to participate in
post-disaster recovery efforts activities aimed at restoring the environment and
assisting with the early stages of recovery Efforts in preparedness focuses at
ensuring that all of the necessary resources for effectively responding in times of
disaster are in place, and those who are tasked to respond at a certain situation
knows how to use those resources. The usual activities related to disaster
preparedness include developing a planning process to ensure effectiveness,
formulating plans for disaster, gathering necessary resources to effectively
respond to the disaster that can occur, and enhancing individual skills to

College of Criminology Page |

effectively perform in times of disaster and other related tasks. (Sutton & Tierney,
2006)

The motivating ideals that underlie disaster management, namely

minimizing harm to people, property, and the environment, are generally the
same all over the world. The ability to carry out this mission, on the other hand, is
far from uniform. The terrible reality is that certain countries and regions are
better capable than others at solving the problem, whether for political, cultural,
economic, or other reasons. However, no nation, regardless of its riches or
power, is so evolved as to be completely immune to the harmful impacts of
calamities. Furthermore, as a result of the globalization of the economy, it is
becoming increasingly impossible to restrict the repercussions of disasters inside
a single country's borders (Coppola, 2007).

Measures done to prepare for and mitigate the effects of disasters pertain
s to disaster preparedness. It necessitates a high level of preparation and
restriction that may have an influence on vulnerable persons, as well as the
ability to properly respond and cope with the consequences. Berl D. Jones Jr.
(2017) states in his study that disaster preparedness and response necessitate a
thorough understanding of the needs and approaches for disaster preparedness
and response. At the same time, these critical activities and approaches are
heavily influenced by contextual factors that determine both the scope and nature
of preparedness and response. Disaster preparedness and response is not
based on unconstrained flexibility to meet all needs. There are limits,
permissions, and definitions that apply at all levels of government and to nearly
all elements of preparedness, response, and recovery. In order to assure an
integrated response and a reduction in misunderstandings, all parties benefit
when the various authorities are understood and tested in exercises. (Shultz et
al,. 2017).
Methods to follow for better execution are developed through disaster
preparedness. There are several procedural approaches to perform and conduct
for addressing a great plan for disaster response by institutions.  Furthermore,

College of Criminology Page |

 UNIVERSITY OF PERPETUAL HELP SYSTEM DALTA
Las Piñas Campus

once informed and thoroughly imparted to the students and faculties, it will be
executed well and developed the preparedness towards disaster. As stated by
Tkachuck, M. (2016) with his study, The methods used were essential in the
initiation of what will become a much more comprehensive model of disaster
preparedness research. By first getting an idea as to where students stand in
regards to natural disaster preparedness, the institution and researchers can
move forward more effectively applying a strong evidenced-based framework to
both research methods and the dissemination and implementation of
preparedness techniques used within the institution.
Knowledge, attitude, and practices have a significant relationship and
positive intercorrelation. (Balila et al,. 2017) Their study reveals that non-teaching
employees have a better attitude and practices for disaster preparedness than
students, but their knowledge is statistically comparable. It concludes that the
study's findings serve as the foundation for a disaster preparedness plan,
emphasizing the need for budget allocation for safety precautions and resources
required by the University.

Natural catastrophes and climate change have made the Philippines one
of the most susceptible countries in the world. The COVID-19 epidemic was not
the only tragedy to strike the Philippines in 2020. A volcanic eruption began the
year, and it ended with two magnitude 6 earthquakes, one of which struck on
Christmas morning. Typhoon Goni, a late-season superstorm that was the
strongest in the globe last year, came in between. Due to the archipelago's
location along both the route of tropical storms building in the western Pacific and
the Ring of Fire, at least 60% of the country's total land area, approximately
300,000 square kilometers (116,000 square miles), is exposed to natural
disasters. Knowingly how vulnerable the country is to catastrophes, a number of
government institutions have launched a series of applications to assist local
government officials in developing local disaster solutions. Mitigation efforts rely
on a constantly fine-tuned network of early-warning systems and the
establishment of procedures to respond more swiftly to natural disasters. The
National Exposure Database (NED), which identifies sensitive locations so that

Las Piñas Campus

agencies and local governments may conduct real-time analysis and respond
quickly in the event of a disaster, is the latest source of assistance. It also aids in
the development and implementation of disaster-preparedness measures (Mina,
2021).

It's critical to assess the level of awareness and preparedness among

those who are regarded school's external stakeholders. Awareness is often
linked to one's understanding of a phenomenon. Provided reputable sources of
information and authorities to him/her. Being knowledgeable or aware does not
always imply that a person is adequately prepared in the event of tragedies or
disasters, because logistics and infrastructure preparedness play a crucial role in
the preparation cycle (Maminta, 2019).

According to Soriano G. P. (2019) with the topic” Disaster Risk Reduction

Knowledge among local people in a Selected Community in the Philippines,” the
Philippines has been designated as being extremely vulnerable to natural
disasters. As a result, strengthening communities' resilience to the risk and
negative consequences of natural disasters is critical for reducing vulnerability
and managing disasters. The study assessed disaster-related knowledge of local
people in a selected community, including (1) disaster preparedness and
readiness, (2) disaster adaptation, (3) disaster awareness, and (4) disaster risk
perception. Methods: A descriptive-cross-sectional study was used, and the 60
participants were chosen using a convenience sampling technique. The Disaster
Risk Reduction Know-How Scale was used to assess disaster risk reduction
knowledge.

Disaster Preparedness provides for the key strategic actions that give
importance to activities revolving around community awareness and
understanding; contingency planning; conduct of local drills and the development
of a national disaster response plan. Risk-related information coming from the
prevention and mitigation aspect is necessary in order for the preparedness
activities to be responsive to the needs of the people and situation on the ground.
Also, the policies, budget and institutional mechanisms established under the

College of Criminology Page |

 UNIVERSITY OF PERPETUAL HELP SYSTEM DALTA
Las Piñas Campus

prevention and mitigation priority area will be further enhanced through capacity
building activities, development of coordination mechanisms.

The success and realization of this priority area rely heavily on the
completion of the activities under both the prevention and mitigation and
preparedness aspects, including among others the coordination and
communication mechanisms to be developed.

On-the-ground partnerships and the vertical and horizontal

coordination work between and among key stakeholders will contribute to
successful disaster response operations and its smooth transition towards early
and long-term recovery work. Disaster Preparedness entails essential strategic
initiatives such as community awareness and understanding, contingency
planning, local drills, and the creation of a national disaster response strategy. In
order for preparedness activities to be responsive to the requirements of the
people and the circumstances on the ground, risk-related information from the
preventative and mitigation aspects is required. Additionally, through capacity
building initiatives and the creation of coordination mechanisms, the policies,
budgets, and institutional processes developed under the preventative and
mitigation priority area would be reinforced.

The researcher will utilize online survey form questionnaires to the target
respondents which is the students and staff of the University of Perpetual Help
System DALTA Las Pinas Campus to know their level of disaster preparedness.
To get the appropriate needed data the given questionnaire consists of
four (4) different parts. Part 1 will be questions about the profile of the
respondents which can be answered optionally. Part 2 is questions that will
determine the level of disaster preparedness in terms of systems and
procedures, manpower resources, equipment, and logistics. Part 3 is to know the
significant difference on the level of disaster preparedness when they’re grouped
according to their profile and lastly. Part 4 is to answer what action plans may be
formulated to enhance the disaster preparedness among UPHSD Las Pinas

Validation of Research Instruments

The following technique was followed to validate the instrument used in

the investigation. The survey questionnaire was first written and then sent to the
study adviser and professor for changes, comments, and ideas. Following
acceptance, the researcher pre-tested the questionnaire with the chosen groups
of respondents to determine its administrability, direction, and constructions. The
dry-run validity respondents were then included in the final selection of
respondents. After that, a post-test was conducted after it was written that the
questionnaires were clear and easy to read. It was eventually printed because
there were no more corrections. The researcher then requested the final
distribution and wrote a letter to the Dean, the Research Adviser, and the
respondents.
