📄 Abstract
This study assessed the adequacy of emergency supplies and the effectiveness of disaster response in the Municipality of Binmaley, Pangasinan, a coastal community highly vulnerable to flooding and other hazards. Using a descriptive-survey research design, data were collected from MDRRMO personnel, barangay officials, and community members through structured questionnaires. Statistical analyses, including the KruskalWallis test and Pearson correlation, were employed to determine differences in perceptions and the relationship between resource adequacy and disaster response. Findings revealed that disaster response in Binmaley is generally effective, with emergency supplies and rescue materials assessed as adequate. There was no significant difference in perceptions among stakeholders and no significant relationship between resource adequacy and disaster response effectiveness. Problems encountered during disaster response were generally perceived as not serious. The study recommends strengthening training, coordination, and resource management to further enhance disaster preparedness and response.
