CHAPTER I
INTRODUCTION
Every community benefits from having an Emergency Response Team. People are in charge
of maintaining many people's lives, especially those in danger who need assistance. It is a
year-round high-alert responsibility to save lives, not just around the holidays. These people will
always be the first respondent to the incident, whether natural disasters or manufacturing
calamities. Emergency preparedness and response mechanisms, such as those for epidemic notice
and response and mass casualty management, must be tested and assisted regularly at all health
system levels. Through good planning and long-term implementation of rehabilitation and
rebuilding initiatives, countries and communities should utilize post-event recovery possibilities
to strengthen capacities and lower the risk of future calamities (Agcelin, 2021).
and earthquakes are the most prevalent hazardous occurrences worldwide. Each year, around 190
million people are directly affected by natural and technological disasters, with over 77 000
Natural catastrophes like typhoons, earthquakes, and volcanic eruptions are common in
the Philippines, as are man-made ones like fires and industrial accidents. Thus, emergency
response plays a crucial role in the nation's plan for disaster risk reduction and management. The
Philippine government has taken a number of steps throughout the years to strengthen its
emergency response capacities. In 2018, for example, the National Disaster Risk Reduction and
Management Council (NDRRMC) was established. In order to ensure a more effective and
efficient response to disasters, the NDRRMC has been essential in coordinating disaster response
operations across the nation. In response, the government organized the nation's response to the
pandemic by creating the Inter-Agency Task Force for the Management of Emerging Infectious
pandemic, the IATF has been collaborating closely with the NDRRMC (NDRRMC).
The national security committee are all vital first responders in an emergency in any town
and also health, social services, finance, planning, education, agriculture, foreign affairs,
Emergency services (e.g., fire, police, and ambulance), national hydro-meteorological services,
for readiness, recognizing and handling crises, and executing relief efforts. Community leaders
have the ability to raise public trust, disseminate information, and identify those who are at risk,
as does the Municipal Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (MDRRMC), the
Bureau of Fire Protection (BFP), and the Philippine National Police (PNP). These groups can
frequently come across the following incidents: flash floods, landslides, drownings during dry
low-lying areas. At around 8:00 am, a forced evacuation was implemented. The MDRRMO
Tagoloan and local agencies in the Municipality collaborated to secure the evacuees and place
them in Tagoloan Dome, one of the evacuation centers designated by the office.

The forced evacuation also occurred in certain barangays, where it was managed by their
respective BDRRMCs. Should the situation worsened, the MDRRM Responders promptly
intervened and secured the evacuees to their respective evacuation centers. It was reported that
the two Sta. Ana Parallel Bridges was damaged and unpassable.
Sugbongcogon and 6 Major Landslides along the Brgy. Road was reported at Barangay Rosario,
The goal of this research is to evaluate the emergency response team's implementation
and ascertain how well it performs in emergency scenarios. The study will examine the members
of the team's emergency readiness and management, the team's resources and hazards, the team's
communication and coordination tactics used in times of crisis, and the team's overall

purpose of these frameworks is to define the steps that emergency managers should follow. If
they follow these prescriptive lessons, it is expected that their efficacy will improve. The most
Emergency managers can arrange their programs for an all-hazard approach by adopting
a variety of broad strategies and specific tactics through a series of common managerial
functions, such as mitigation, readiness, response, and recovery for elaboration Lindell. Perry

The following terms and statements are operationally and conceptually defined as follows:
Disaster Preparedness - This term refers to Disaster preparedness strategy typically focused on
Continuity of Operations Planning (COOP), which ensures that essential operations can continue
Management of Emergencies - The organization and management of the assets and duties for
lessening the negative consequences of all risks, including natural disasters, is the goal.
Hazard - This term refers to a natural or human-made event that threatens to adversely affect
human life, property or activity to the extent of causing a disaster. Overall, the goal of hazard in
an emergency response team is to find and record possible hazards that may be present in your
workplace. It may help to work as a team and include both people familiar with the work area, as
as well as people who are not this way. You have both the experienced and fresh eye to conduct

Disaster Preparedness
The ability to foresee, respond to, and recover from the effects of any natural or
authorities will always be responsible for managing disasters, but resilience depends critically on
the readiness of the affected population. Future research on catastrophe preparedness can benefit
from the insights provided by this study. A person's vulnerability and exposure to dangers, the
local frequency and severity of hazards, and geographic factors that impact the availability of
essential supplies should all be taken into account while tailoring preparation for a given
situation.
The report discusses a broad variety of indicators including an emergency supply kit, that
can help to measure individual disaster preparedness. The report explores the data availability of
these preparedness indicators for Switzerland. It highlights existing gaps in the preparedness
literature with regards to empirical evidence for the composition and effectiveness of emergency

Disaster Preparedness provides for the key strategic actions that give importance to
activities revolving around community awareness; conduct of local drills and the development of
Pre-disaster actions and measures to avert or minimizing loss of life and property by

mitigation measures, which include making dams and updating building codes, prove ineffective
and can become a source of added vulnerability. Therefore, the importance of preparedness
cannot be ignored, and the relief distribution aspect needs to be appraised as a measure of
disaster preparedness. This study integrates disaster preparedness and response. Many
parameters cannot be known before a disaster, while relief demand is a key parameter in disaster
preparedness modeling.

A decision maker needs to identify the properties of relief demand. Seven influencing
factors of relief demand are identified. Then, a facility location model is proposed, and the model
results are analyzed. The results show that the hub-and-spoke distribution system brings higher
Hazard
Hazards are dangerous phenomena like floods, tropical storms or droughts that can cause
loss of life, damage to property and the environment, destruction of livelihoods and disruption of
services. Hazards can lead to disasters or emergencies, which require urgent action. Such
emergencies have a direct impact on food security- floods, storms, tsunamis and other hazards

Every aspect of disaster risk management, including multi-hazard risk assessments for
prevention and mitigation, warnings and alerts, disaster response and recovery, long-term
planning, and public awareness, depend on the combination of hazard information with
exposure, vulnerability, and capacity. Although understanding of hazards and their related
impacts has evolved over recent decades, and lists of hazards are available at many levels from
many organizations, a single overview that provides a full picture of hazards to help inform the
comprehensive and inclusive approach to the development of national and local disaster risk
reduction strategies and related financing and regulatory frameworks; and it affects the capacity

Doing a risk assessment to find possible emergency situations is the first stage in creating
an emergency response plan. Knowing what can occur will help you assess what resources you'll
need and create strategies and protocols to get your company ready. Your performance targets
should be aligned with the emergency plan. Life safety is always the top consideration in an
emergency. Stabilizing the event is the second priority. To contain a situation and reduce possible
harm, numerous steps can be performed. Trained personnel can save lives by doing CPR and first
aid. A small fire can be put out by trained personnel using fire extinguishers. Building damage
can be reduced, and environmental harm can be avoided, by supervising building utilities and
systems and containing minor chemical spills (Emergency Response Plan, 2021).

RESEARCH INSTRUMENT
A modified questionnaire instrument will be used by the researchers to collect data for
the study from the respondents. The instrument will be obtained from the Municipal Disaster
Risk Reduction Management Office and referenced in a research journal article titled Disaster
Risk Reduction Management among Urban Barangay in Nasipit, Agusan del Norte by Bada, et
al. (2018) and The Effectiveness of the Disaster Risk Reduction and Management in the
There are two parts to the instrument that will be used with the study participants. The
respondent's profile, including age, gender, years of experience, educational attainment, training
attended, and length of residency, will be gathered in the first section of the instrument. The
evaluation of the Emergency Response Team's implementation, which covers hazard mitigation,
emergency response, and disaster preparedness, was determined in the second section. The
effectiveness measure put in place as well as the respondent profiles will be assessed by the
survey.

Ethical Standards
After each respondent signs informed consent, confirming a desire to provide answers to
the submitted questionnaire and verifying respondents' anonymity throughout the study, the
respondents' responses. To preserve the participant's identity, only the researcher has access to
the participant's branch. In compliance with the 2012 Privacy Security Act, all information
The researchers will prepare a letter to the officials of the selected Tagoloan Barangays in
Misamis Oriental, as well as the Municipal Disaster Risk Reduction Management Office, the
Bureau of Fire Protection, and the Philippine National Police. The researchers received the
information needed for the study once the letters were approved. Following that, the researchers
would perform the study in the Barangays with the permission of Barangay officials. The
information will be acquired using survey questions. The researchers will retrieve, tabulate, and
SCORING PROCEDURE
If the Likert scale doesn't include a neutral option (which is often referred to as a forced choice Likert
scale), the scoring procedure remains similar, but there's no neutral response to consider. Let's assume the
options are:
● Strongly Disagree = 1
● Disagree = 2
● Agree = 3
● Strongly Agree = 4
Example Responses:
Suppose a respondent answered four questions without a neutral option:
● Q1: Agree (3)
● Q2: Disagree (2)
● Q3: Strongly Agree (4)
● Q4: Strongly Disagree (1)
Calculation:
● Total Score = Sum of individual scores for each question
● Q1: 3
● Q2: 2
● Q3: 4
● Q4: 1
Total Score = 3 + 2 + 4 + 1 = 10
Interpretation:
In this case, the total score for this respondent is 10 out of a possible maximum score of 16 (4 questions x
maximum score of 4).
To convert this total score to a percentage:
● Maximum Possible Score = 16
● Percentage Score = (Total Score / Maximum Possible Score) * 100
● Percentage Score = (10 / 16) * 100 ≈ 62.5%
So, without a neutral option, the respondent's overall alignment or agreement with the statements or
questions in the survey is approximately 62.5%.
