N1  - ABSTRACT

This study aimed to determine the level of readiness of Brgy. San Jose
Tagaytay City and if there is a significant difference between the
demographic profile of respondents and their level of readiness in
terms of community risk assessment. The study utilized a sequential
explanatory mixed-method approach to evaluate the level of disaster
readiness among the selected residents. In the quantitative phase
(Phase 1), a self-made questionnaire was administered after ensuring
its validity and reliability, with a Cronbach alpha coefficient of 0.8898
indicating good internal consistency. Statistical treatments, including
ANOVA and t-tests, were applied to analyze the survey data.
Following the tabulation and computation of the survey results, the
second phase of the study commenced. In this phase, eight participants
were purposively selected from different Puroks to provide
explanations through semi-structured interviews, employing the
Thematic analysis method by Braun and Clarke, and Computer
Assisted Data Analysis Software (CAQDAS) was utilized to facilitate
the identification and explication of emerging themes from the
interview data. Lastly, the integration of quantitative and qualitative
findings was conducted to comprehensively measure and explain the
readiness of the selected Barangay in response to the Taal Unrest
readiness. The study findings indicated the readiness of the
respondents of Brgy. San Jose to Taal Volcano unrest in terms of
community risk assessment, hazards, vulnerabilities, and capacities has
an overall result of 3.5 indicating “Always Ready.” The researchers
develop educational materials, such as strengthening their readiness
for emergency response skills, including Volcanic alert level and first
aid and CPR information in the form of a booklet that will be utilized
as a part of the activity during the Related Learning Exposure in
