This comprehensive study titled “ Evaluating Disaster Readiness And Preparedness In Cabuyao City, Laguna: Demographic Influences, Challenges, and Policy recommendations “, evaluates disaster readiness and preparedness in Cabuyao City, Laguna, Philippines, a densely populated urban area frequently affected by natural disasters including typhoons, floods, earthquakes, and landslides. Located in the CALABARZON region, Cabuyao City has experienced rapid urbanization, which amplifies vulnerability due to inadequate infrastructure and population growth. The research employs a mixed-methods approach, combining quantitative surveys of 382 randomly selected residents across diverse barangays, qualitative semi-structured interviews with 20 local government officials and disaster response coordinators, and secondary data analysis from sources like the the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (NDRRMC). Demographic influences are a core focus, assessing how factors such as age, gender, education, and household size impact preparedness behaviors, including emergency kit possession, evacuation planning, and participation in drills.. Employing a mixed-methods approach, the study surveyed residents across diverse barangays and conducted in-depth interviews with local government officials, disaster coordinators, and community leaders. Quantitative data from Likert-scale questionnaires measured not prepared to Highly prepared, participation in drills, and access to resources, while qualitative insights revealed challenges encountered. Policy recommendations emphasize integrating demographic data into NDRRMC frameworks for targeted interventions, such as subsidized emergency supplies for vulnerable groups, and proposed action plan. The study advocates for public-private partnerships to enhance infrastructure resilience, including building standards and early warning systems. By implementing these measures, Cabuyao City could reduce disaster impacts, potentially lowering economic losses. This research contributes to global disaster risk reduction literature, highlighting the intersection of demographics and urbanization in Southeast Asian contexts, and underscores the urgency for adaptive, equitable policies to build community resilience.
