Abstract

Disaster readiness in schools is often inadequate. This study aimed to determine the best fit model of disaster readiness. Employing structural equation modeling, with 400 respondents selected through purposive sampling, it was found that among the hypothesized models, Model 1 fits best with Emergency Management Theory (EMT) affirming that School Manager’s Practices, Organizational Resilience, and School Safety Significantly influence Disaster Readiness. The indices for CMIN/DF (1.307), p-value (0.250), NFI (0.982), TLI (0.955), CFI (0.995), GFI (0.996), RMSEA (0.028), and p-close (0.731) met the standard criteria, confirming the model’s validity. Enhancement of predictors of Disaster Readiness, further research utilizing the best fit model and employing variables not covered in the study to validate the assertion of the theory, and policy advocacy on Climate Action as highlighted by SDG 13 are recommended.
