This study dealt with the level of implementation of disaster risk reduction and management program in public elementary schools during the S.Y. 2020-2021. This study employed a descriptive-correlational method of research with 45 respondents. Findings revealed that the level of implementation of DRRM program by the school DRRM coordinators obtained an overall weighted mean of 4.37 denoting a transmuted rating of “High”. Moreover, significant differences in the level of implementation of DRRM program by the school DRRM coordinators across profile variables sex and civil status was evident. Likewise, significant relationships between the level of implementation of DRRM program by the school DRRM coordinators and their age was evident. It can be concluded the school DRRM coordinators are performing well their roles in implementing the DRRM program in the schools. It is recommended that a well-planned development program on disaster risk reduction management program shall be crafted by the DepEd. This is essential to improve/sustain the level of implementation of DRRM program in their schools and communities.
