Abstract Abstract
This study determined the level of implementation of the School Disaster Risk Reduction and Management program among secondary schools in the Lagonoy North District, Division of Camarines Sur, for SY 2025-2026. It specifically determined the profile of schools in Lagonoy North District; determined the stakeholders’ level of implementation of the schools’ DRRM program; assessed the significant association between the school profile and the stakeholders’ level of implementation; assessed the significant difference in the stakeholders’ level of implementation of the DRRM program among schools; and develop an action plan to enhance the schools’ capabilities in DRRM. A descriptive–associative–comparative research design was employed, consisting of 377 students and a specialized group of teachers using stratified sampling from various schools within the Lagonoy North District. Data were collected using a researcher-developed questionnaire and analyzed using frequency count, percentage technique, weighted mean, Chi-Square Test, and One-Way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA). It was concluded that resource disparities exist among schools in Lagonoy North District, particularly in DRRM budget allocation, staffing, and availability of emergency materials, despite differences in student population and school size; stakeholders generally perceive the DRRM program as implemented across all components, with Disaster Preparedness rated highest and Disaster Rehabilitation and Recovery rated lowest, indicating a functional but not fully optimized implementation; no significant association exists between school profile variables and the stakeholders’ perceived level of DRRM implementation, suggesting that implementation is not influenced by school size, age, or available resources; a significant difference exists in stakeholders’ perceived levels of DRRM implementation across schools, indicating that implementation quality varies depending on the specific school context.
