Abstract

This study aimed to examine the relationship between community fire preparedness, safety policy implementation, and community resilience in selected barangays. A correlational design was used to determine whether a statistical association existed between community fire preparedness, safety policy implementation, and community resilience. A total of 450 respondents were selected proportionally from fire-affected households across the identified barangays. The result interprets high safety policy implementation as the mediator, community fire preparedness as the independent variable, and community resilience as the dependent variable. However, some factors suggest that each variable is weak. The relationship between community fire preparedness and safety policy implementation, between safety policy implementation and community resilience, and between community fire preparedness and community resilience are highly significant. In contrast, the knowledge and drills for both the relationship between community fire preparedness and safety policy implementation and the relationship between community fire preparedness and community resilience demonstrated the weakest relationship; inspection and permitting between safety policy implementation and community resilience showed the weakest relationship.
