JOCELYN V. JUNIO

This study was sought to determine the extent of internal stakeholders’ involvement in
disaster management in the different divisions of Pangasinan SY 2015-2016.
Specifically, Problem No. 1 focused on the profile of the respondents which included
variables namely: age, sex, civil status, highest educational attainment and relevant trainings
attended; Problem No. 2 dealt with the extent of internal stakeholders’ involvement in disaster
management along the areas of disaster awareness, technical skills, financial resources, facilities
and rescue equipment’s and support of external stakeholders; Problem No.3 focused on the
significant difference in the extent of internal stakeholders’ involvement in disaster management
across profile variables; Problem No. 4 is on the significant relationship between the extent of
internal stakeholders’ involvement in disaster management and the selected profile variables
namely: highest educational attainment, length of service and relevant trainings attended;
Problem No. 5 focused on the problems encountered by the respondents in their involvement in
disaster management.
The two null hypotheses which state that there is no significant difference in the extent
of internal stakeholders’ involvement in disaster management across the profile variables.
There is no significant relationship between the internal stakeholders’ involvement in disaster
management and the selected profile variables: highest educational attainment, length of service
as school administrator and relevant trainings attended.
The following are the findings of the study: The respondents are within the age
bracket of 30-65 dominantly females, dominantly married, almost of whom are Doctoral Degree
holder, with less than 11-15 years as school administrator, and have been attending in-service
trainings from division to international levels. The respondents extent of involvement in disaster
management is “extensive” as indicated by the overall weighted mean of 4.08, with the area
of support of external stakeholders having the highest weighted mean of 4.12 and financial
resources and facilities and rescue equipment’s having the lowest mean of 4.06 respectively. The
null hypothesis of no significant difference in the internal stakeholders’ involvements in disaster
management across the profile variables is generally accepted at .05 level of significance, except
in the area of facilities and rescue equipment’s across relevant trainings attended whereby
the same null hypothesis is rejected. There is no significant relationship between the internal
stakeholders’ involvement in disaster management and their profile variables.
