    SUMMARY, FINDINGS, CONCLUSIONS, AND RECOMMENDATIONS

    Summary

    In this study, the researchers aimed to assess the public schools used as

    evacuation centers in Daraga, Albay during disasters, specifically the use of Daraga

    National High School as evacuation center. The study also sought to answers the

    following problems:

    1. What are the barangays that need to be evacuated during natural disasters?

    2. What are the public schools in Daraga, Albay that are possible as evacuation

    center in terms of :

    a. Location

    b. Building structures

    c. Capacity

    d. Facility?

    3. What measures or processes are needed and/ or recommended as official

    evacuation center?

    The study employed descriptive-qualitative methodology. Its goal is to come up

    with comprehensive summary in everyday terms, of specific events experienced by

    individuals or groups of individuals. The researchers asked the cooperation of the

    respondents who are in charge of disaster management to answer the interview

    questions that helped the researchers in formulating a valid conclusion.


    Findings

    The salient findings of the study are the following:

    1. The municipality of Daraga in the province of Albay has 54 barangays. Among those

    54 barangays, all of them are subject to evacuation depending on the disaster that

    may occur. Strong wind and storm surge covers 41 or 75.93% out of 54 barangays to

    be subjected to evacuation.37 barangays or 68.52% during flood, 26 or 48.15% in

    times of landslide, and 10 or 18.52% out of 54 barangays are subject to evacuation

    when lahar and mudflow may happen.

    2. In every barangay of Daraga, there is a public school. May it be elementary or

    secondary; both are being used to shelter the evacuees in times of calamity. Every

    room in those schools are standard rooms. Meaning, they meet the Department of

    Education’s guidelines for safety and usability. Daraga National High School

    specifically, is the only school in Daraga, Albay that accommodates the highest

    number of families. It shelters residents of 6 barangays for a total of 791 families or 2

    972 persons. Since the school is located in Sagpon Daraga, Albay. 36 families in the

    area are subject to evacuation in times of flood, 6 during landslide and 83 families

    before the strong wind and storm surge occur. Other barangays that shelter their

    affected constituents in the said school are Maroroy, Matnog, Tagas, Ilawod and

    Kilicao. The school has 95 rooms, 34 of which are used for evacuation. It has 15

    comfort rooms but only 13 are still functional. Water and electricity supplies are also

    being cut off when the whole municipality loses its supply. Though the local

    government unit provides portable generator set, it is still not enough to sustain the

    need for electricity of the evacuees during their stay in the centers.

    3. Staying in evacuation centers will never be easy both on the evacuees and the

    authority. Problems will be inevitable. Even the expected problems are not always
    addressed. The problems that the school administrators and the authority always

    encounter are the following: water supply, comfort rooms, improper waste disposal,

    windows are being broken; rooms become comfort rooms, and the intolerable attitude

    of the evacuees.

    Conclusions

    Based on the findings, the following conclusions are formulated:

    1. Effective leadership is one of the key factors for the safe, successful and zero-

    casualty evacuation centers.

    2. Schools especially the public schools are really not conducive for evacuation.

    3. Due to the use of public school as evacuation center, the authority is not only at stake

    but also the education of the students for there are times that the evacuation processes

    and evacuation stay lasts a long time.

    Recommendations

    1. The local government unit should provide portable sources of electricity and water.

    2. The government should provide permanent evacuation centers and stop using public

    schools to shelter people displaced by disasters.
