Abstract
This study assessed the disaster risk reduction and management mechanisms of schools in the province of Bukidnon, analyzed the adequacy and gaps of the disaster risk reduction and management mechanisms implemented in schools, and proposed a model of school-based disaster risk reduction and management network. The findings showed that the five priority actions established by the Hyogo Framework for Action on which the Department of Education Manual was anchored were not substantially achieved. Moreover, the DRRM mechanisms on disaster prevention, disaster mitigation, and disaster preparedness were fairly adequate, while disaster preparedness was somewhat adequate. Based on the findings, an integrated model of school-based disaster risk reduction and management (SBDRRM) network of vulnerable communities was proposed emphasizing a bottom-up approach, three-focal point system representing the susceptible areas under the school divisions of Bukidnon, Malaybalay and Valencia, multisectoral collaboration, and inclusion of DRRM in school curricula.
