Public Institutions Compliance to Earthquake Drills and Their Capabilities: Inputs for Enhanced Disaster Response Plan

Abstract ABSTRACT

This study evaluated the compliance and capabilities of public institutions in conducting earthquake disaster emergency drills, focusing on key components such as alarms, response, evacuation, assembly, head count, and evaluation. The research involved respondents from the Office of Civil Defense (OCD) and the Health and Human Services Group (HHSG), ensuring balanced perspectives.

Findings revealed moderate compliance levels, with strengths in inclusivity, documentation, and accountability, but highlighted challenges in areas like communication, accessibility, and systematic evaluations. Similarly, the institutions’ capabilities across the five steps of disaster drills—getting everyone on board, communicating the plan, setting goals, running the drill, and assessing results—were rated as moderate, with gaps identified in realism, feedback integration, and alignment of compliance with practical execution.

Correlation analysis indicated a positive relationship between compliance and capabilities, emphasizing that higher adherence to essential components enhances institutional preparedness. The study concludes with actionable recommendations to strengthen disaster response plans, improve stakeholder engagement, and ensure comprehensive earthquake preparedness, contributing to more resilient public institutions.
