Abstract
School Disaster Risk Reduction Management is vital for the safety and well-being of students, teachers, and administrators. This study examined the level of preparedness and awareness of SDRRM among Gingoog City Division respondents. It sought to determine: (1) respondents profiles, (2) respondents level according to their profiles, (3) the significant difference in respondents level of preparedness and awareness on climate change as grouped according to their profiles, and (4) the significant relationship between respondents preparedness and awareness on climate change and SDRRM. Results revealed that coordinators and teachers have very high levels of SDRRM preparedness and climate change awareness. Furthermore, it revealed a statistically significant difference in teachers preparedness for SDRRM and awareness of climate change. There is a significant relationship between coordinators preparedness for SDRRM and their awareness of climate change. While teachers preparedness and awareness were not significant. These data suggest a potential improvement path for climate change teaching in teacher training courses.
