Recurring flooding remains a persistent community problem. I explored the disturbance or adversity, network of adaptive capacities, and positive adaptation experienced by residents in flood-prone communities along the Saug River. Using a qualitative descriptive design, I interviewed eight purposively sampled residents and applied thematic analysis. I found that recurring flooding disrupted livelihood, safety, mobility, and emotional well-being; however, residents used economic support, social relationships, communication systems, and collective action to sustain community resilience. Hence, Community Resilience Theory was applied to emphasize that local government units and barangay leaders may strengthen livelihood assistance, early warning systems, community participation, and psychosocial support. Future research may quantitatively validate the relationship between adaptive capacities and positive adaptation in flood-prone communities.
