This study investigated how well these programs are implemented in elementary and secondary schools in the District of Motiong. The researcher used surveys to assess current practices and looked at factors like administrative support and training that affect how well these programs work. This study found that schools with strong SDRRM systems were better prepared for disasters. The study highlights the importance of leaders who are committed to SDRRM, having enough resources, and training staff.
