SUMMARY
CONCLUSIONS
The profile of respondents in terms of gender, 42.86% of the respondents are male and 57.14% are female
with the total population of 130. However, in terms of grade level, researchers were suggested that their study
revolved around the junior high students. So, we have 98.11% respondents from 7th grade out of 130.

The significant difference between respondent’s level of awareness when grouped according to gender in Rosario
National High School accepts the null hypothesis.
 RECOMMENDATIONS
All aspects of this research are important to the improvement of the disaster resilience of Rosario National
High School. Awareness, participation, safety measures, and the management strategy should always be
evaluated and improved to prevent large damage to the institution.
