Abstract

This descriptive quantitative study aimed to determine the level of knowledge, practices, and emergency and disaster preparedness of the community members in a selected locale of Tagum City and determine if there’s a significant relationship between the dependent and independent variables. The Simple random sampling technique was used in selecting research participants, who were identified based on the set inclusion criteria. The results of this study revealed that the level of knowledge and practices in emergency and disaster crises of the community members as perceived by the community disaster responders are both moderately high. The perceived emergency and disaster preparedness level was also rated as moderately high. Moreover, the study found no significant relationship between the perceived level of emergency and disaster preparedness and the demographic profile of the respondents in terms of Age and Gender. At the same time, Educational Attainment showed significance to the perceived emergency and disaster preparedness level. Consequently, there was a strong relationship between the perceived level of knowledge on emergency and disaster crisis; and emergency and disaster preparedness. There was a strong relationship between the perceived level of practices on emergency and disaster crisis; and emergency and disaster preparedness. Finally, the researcher recommends that there must be proper localized planning in the communities, regular updating of program and emergency responses, regular conduct of drills and training to the community responders to equip them with new and updated training about disaster and emergency response and establish a research-based plan to prepare both community and administrative bodies during the occurrence of natural and man-made disasters.
