“…Many scholars and stakeholders are concerned about the failure of the top-down approach and argue for a new approach that takes communities at risk directly into the planning and execution of mitigation, readiness, response, and recovery efforts, as communities are best able to assess vulnerability and make decisions about their wellbeing [14]. The significance of community participation in disaster risk reduction has been well documented in the recent literature [12,14,15]. As the number of disasters and viral epidemics has increased worldwide, the importance of community participation has also increased [16].…”

Community-based organizations (CBOs) are gaining popularity in Bangladesh as a tool for relaying flood risk information and adaptation strategies. However, to our knowledge, no attempts have been made to determine the impact of CBOs on farmers’ adoption of flood adaptation strategies. Therefore, in this paper, we identify the determinants that influence farmers’ decisions to participate in CBOs and how this participation impacts farmers’ adoption of flood adaptation strategies. A multistage sampling procedure was employed to select 359 farmers for the study. An endogenous switching regression model was applied to control for possible selection bias due to unobserved factors, while propensity score matching (PSM) and inverse probability-weighted regression adjustment (IPWRA) were employed to test for the robustness of the results. The results reveal a positive selection bias, indicating that farmers with above-average flood adaptation strategies are more willing to participate in CBOs. Farmers’ flood experience, having children under 10 years, distance to the village center, and access to information mainly determine the participation in CBOs. It is also found that CBO participation significantly increases farmers’ adoption of flood adaptation strategies. ESR results show that farmers who participated in CBOs have 3.76 higher average flood adaptation strategies compared to CBO non-participation, and this finding is also consistent with PSM and IPWRA results. Therefore, policy intervention aimed at further strengthening and institutionalizing CBOs is necessary for successful flood adaptation.

“…Furthermore, results show that Davao City's communication system is a top-down communication system, meaning there is little to no interaction between the people and the sources of information. Given the number of times the city has experienced a flood and suffered economic and life casualties, it can be implied that people in Davao City may not well equip with the knowledge and skills needed to reduce the risks of floods [11]. These studies measure risk communication effectiveness in different contexts and have only focused on these variables.…”

An earthquake is a natural disaster that has been part of history, causing catastrophic events that lead to social and economic losses. As a result, there is a pressing need for a change toward earthquake readiness, with earthquake preparedness playing a significant role in fostering this study. Despite the significant role of earthquake preparedness in lessening the impact of this natural catastrophe, challenges are present that disable the people and the concerned agencies from entirely benefiting from its implication. The extent of each component is examined and correlated in the current study on teacher education students; level of risk communication effectiveness and level of earthquake preparedness. To achieve the study’s objectives, descriptive correlation analysis was utilized. Generated 330 University of Mindanao-Main teacher education students as respondents and used convenience sampling methods to gather data. The findings revealed a statistically significant relationship between risk communication effectiveness and earthquake preparedness. Furthermore, the effectiveness of risk communication is frequently observed by the students and the students’ earthquake preparedness; both variables showed a High overall mean. Consequently, the research is significant to future educators and individuals as it will equip them with the necessary skills and resources to prepare for an earthquake and communicate risk information within and outside the institution. The institution, concerned agencies, and countries with similar experiences and challenges will also benefit by strengthening and improving risk communication systems and earthquake preparedness measures.

“…It is located in Mindanao region that is highly prone to natural disasters such as earthquakes, floods, and landslides. There are several studies emphasizing the risk of natural disasters in the region (Eugenio et al, 2016;Cayamanda, 2020;Cayamanda et al, 2021;Cayamanda & Paunlagui, 2022) in general and the Santiago District in particular (Varela et al, 2021;WWF-Philippines, n.d.). With the studies pinpointing that the area has increasing frequency and intensity of disasters and has discrepancies in the implementation of DRRM in public schools, there is a need to understand how the risk of these disasters can be managed better specially in the elementary schools.…”

This study examined the implementation of Disaster Risk Reduction Management (DRRM) in the 11 Elementary Schools in Santiago District in the Philippines using the Gawad Kalasag criteria. It determined the problems encountered by the schools in the implementation of DRRM and assessed the areas of enabling environment, safe learning facilities, school disaster risk reduction management, and disaster risk reduction (DRR) in education. Complete enumeration was employed for the school heads and DRR coordinators while random sampling for teachers and pupils. The responses were analyzed using a four-point Likert scale weighted mean. The results found that the schools have fully implemented safe learning facilities and partially implemented enabling environment and school disaster risk reduction management criteria, with the lowest mean in the DRR in education criteria. Common problems encountered in the implementation of DRRM include creating policies, lack of personnel and budget, and lack of education and information. The study recommends development of DRR integration module, conduct of DRRM training, and budget allocation on DRR.
