Abstract: This study determined the capabilities and program implementation of disaster preparedness at the DepEd Naga City division under disaster risk reduction management (DRRM). There were ninety-four (94) respondents in the study. The respondents were composed of DRRM coordinators, school principals and teachers. A mixed-methods approach, which is a combination of quantitative and qualitative methods, was used in the study. The study revealed that lack of emergency supplies, human resources, financial resources, school security, and seminars and training are the challenges in the implementation of the programs on disaster preparedness. The strategies used to address such challenges are resource mobilization and innovation; augmenting human resources; fundraising activities; partnerships with stakeholders; and the conduct of seminars and training, respectively.
