This research study addresses the immediate actions and challenges faced by Barangay San Manuel City of San Jose del Monte, Bulacan, in responding to emergency concerns using traditional methods. The specific aim of this study was to develop and evaluate the effectiveness of the Barangay San Manuel Responsive Assistance at your Fingertips: The Quick Assist System. The study employed a descriptive quantitative approach, utilizing tests, survey questionnaires, interviews, and document analysis as primary instruments for data collection and analysis. To gather data from the locale of the study, a research tool comprising tests, survey questionnaires, and interviews was specifically designed. The tests assessed the proficiency of the response team in emergency response procedures, while survey questionnaires gathered feedback from community members on the existing emergency response methods and their experiences with the Quick Assist System. Interviews were conducted with key stakeholders to obtain in-depth insights into the challenges and potential improvements. The key findings of the study revealed several factors that influenced immediate action in emergency response. It was identified that a lack of knowledge in navigating the mobile application posed a challenge for respondents in utilizing the Quick Assist System.
