Abstract

This study was conducted to assess the level of implementation of Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Programs in Laguna State Polytechnic University – Santa Cruz Campus necessary for the formulation of a Campus Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Plan. A survey was carried out among 84 respondents from employees and students of Laguna State Polytechnic University – Santa Cruz Campus. Most of the respondents are students of CHMT,CBAA, CSS, and Engineering, with some LSPU Personnel/Employee. The study measures the relationship of demographic profile of the respondents and extent of implementation and practice and the related variables (Disaster Prevention and Mitigation Programs, Disaster Preparedness programs, Disaster Response and Early Recovery programs, Rehabilitation and Recovery programs, DRR Trainings, Susceptibility of LSPU to Hazards, School Building Basic Emergency and Safety Requirements). With the help of a Statistician, the researcher utilized and analyzed the data. Frequency and Percentage, Mean and Standard Deviation are used to analyze and assess the level of implementation as well as the demographic profile used in the study

Findings revealed that the respondents relatively agree on the extent of implementation, while they practice DRR with moderate extent and moderately agree on the difficulties encountered that affects the implementation.

The result of the study may provide evidence-based data that can be utilized in the development of a Contingency plan against top hazard.
