Abstract
Effective communication infrastructure is crucial for disaster response and management, particularly in typhoon-prone regions like the province of Catanduanes, Philippines. This study aims to design a resilient communication tower with a retractable antenna mast to enhance the communication capabilities of the Municipal Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office (MDRRMO) in the island of Catanduanes during typhoon and disaster. The study adopts a capstone project design method. It includes qualitative analysis with an extensive review of literature and guidelines related to resilient communication infrastructure, typhoon preparedness, and disaster response strategies specific to the island of Catanduanes. Factors such as wind loads, structural stability, and mechanisms for deploying the retractable antenna mast pole are considered during the design process. Advanced tools such as computer-aided design software and structural analysis and design software application simulations are employed to model and assess the tower's structural integrity under extreme weather conditions. The outcomes study includes a detailed design plan for a resilient communication tower with a retractable antenna mast pole, specifically tailored for the typhoon-prone environment in Catanduanes.
