Operational research develops a community and school-based disaster surveillance model, suggesting improved management strategies.
Introduction: Effective disaster management requires an integrated approach based on community and school entities, encompassing preparedness, response, and recovery. This study aims to develop an integrated model for community and school-based disaster surveillance information systems. Method: This research was operational research that employs a mixed method, utilizing document study for obtaining quantitative data also Focus Group Discussions for obtaining qualitative data. Those identifying data and information needed to develop integrated disaster surveillance information system model. Results: The findings highlight the critical role of community-based interventions, from pre, during, and post disaster. Strategic data surveillance consists of disaster risk factors, preparedness, mitigation, early warning system, emergency, rapid health assessment, also community-based rehabilitation, and reconstruction. School identifications, infrastructures, contingency plan, risk map, and disaster preparedness team are also obtained in this disaster surveillance information system model. Information consists of disaster risk indicators, such as hazard, vulnerability, capacity, risk, high risk area, and trend of disaster risk factors are also acquired in each area as well as educational institution. Conclusion: The study demonstrates that integrated and participatory approaches to disaster management strengthen disaster contingency plan. Policymakers and practitioners are urged to prioritize routine disaster surveillance data collection to contribute to policymaking.
