Abstract
The study analyzed the Disaster Risk Reduction and Management operationalization in the Case of Typhoon Yolanda in Tacloban City. Qualitative research design in drawing the findings and conclusion was used. The sought after respondents were the residents of Barangay San Jose, Anibong, and Cai-Baan of Tacloban City, and the different government agency and non-government organizations key personnel The qualitative data gathering was done in Tacloban City and in Metro Manila. On the basis of the findings, it is concluded that there was a variation on the actual implemented DRRM response as to what was required on the written plans. Such variations resulted in inadequate information dissemination, and poor strategy on how the information will be disseminated. Also, it resulted in high counts of casualties, delayed relief goods distribution; deficiency of strategic prepositioning of relief goods; and drifts in protocol execution. Hence, the DRRM operationalization produced negative after effects seven (7) days after the storm surge Yolanda. Moreover, despite the existence of a DRRM policy and framework, there has been a slow DRRM response, search, and rescue operations seven (7) days after the storm surge Yolanda in Tacloban City. This may be attributed to a number of causes which include the lack of preparedness of the involved government organizations, the insubstantial organizational quality of such institutions and some implementing personalities' inappropriate political interventions. Based on the results and inferences, it is recommended that the NDRRMC empowering bodies must be made aware of the results of this study so that they will know their existing status on their level of preparedness, awareness and implementation on the policies and protocols and how their execution has greatly affected the storm surge victims and survivors. Also, further studies are recommended so that complete policies, protocols and framework can be suggested to the NDRRMC.
