Abstract

Earthquake preparedness plays a vital role in ensuring the safety of individuals. This study aimed to determine the level of awareness and disaster preparedness regarding earthquakes among selected students, teachers, non-teaching staff, and parents of Bacoor National High School Main Community. The study quantitatively assessed the extent to which these groups learned about disaster preparedness within the school setting. The findings of this research serve as the basis for safety and mitigation planning for the upcoming school year. Using a 5-point Likert scale earthquake preparedness survey, data were gathered from 350 respondents, selected through stratified random sampling. Results revealed that the BNHS Main Community has a high level of awareness regarding earthquake occurrences and is generally well-equipped with necessary precautions. The researchers concluded that while preparedness levels are high, continued training and drills are essential. The study recommends maintaining and enhancing earthquake preparedness through frequent earthquake drills and related activities.
