Flooding is a frequently occurring and highly destructive natural disaster that inflicts significant economic harm and has a profound impact on human lives across the globe. People residing in proximity to rivers and canals are at a heightened risk of encountering the consequences of floods, which may include harm to their property, contraction of diseases, and other associated impacts. Various initiatives have been identified in literature that aim to promote disaster resilience, including emergency responses during the delivery of humanitarian aid, the active involvement of local institutions in providing prompt assistance, flood response strategies that are primarily carried out at the household level, the stockpiling of emergency supplies, and structural measures such as dredging, widening of streams and channels, building of levees, and embankments. The purpose of this study is to conduct an Exploratory Factor Analysis that can identify the most basic and straightforward hypothetical factors or constructs which can provide an understanding of the disaster resiliency among individuals living in flood-prone areas of Davao Region. The research utilizes the Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin (KMO) test to evaluate the suitability of the data, the Bartlett's Test of Sphericity to examine the null hypothesis that the variables in the data set are independent or unrelated to each other, and the Kaiser's Criterion and Scree Test to help determine the number of factors that should be retained. After analysis, the study identified five factors as significant, which are Prepositioning of Life-saving Resources, Flood Perseverance Measures, Proper Coordination with Local Government/Authorities, Response Strategy, and Flood Effects Prevention Measures. |
