Eighty-eight artisanal fishers participated in eight focus group discussions (FGDs) with 8-15 members each. They were administered a Hiligaynon-translated subscale of the Psychological Preparedness for Disaster Threat Scale or PPDTS (Zulch, Morrissey, Reser & Creed, 2012) and were asked questions guided by the developed Knowledge on Disaster Risk interview schedule and Psychosocial Factors of Resiliency interview schedule. Results showed that participants became more knowledgeable on disaster risk after typhoon Yolanda. Their knowledge is influenced by internal and external factors. They also displayed a high psychological preparedness for disaster threat. Psychosocial factors of resiliency that worked best for the participants are being resourceful and initiating a self-help strategy, assuming family- responsibility, faith in God, and material support coming from the different institutions.vii, 73 p.Disaster riskArtisanal fishersPreparednessPsychologicalPsychosocialLG 993.5 2015 P7 B36Thesisdisaster risk managementartisanal fisheriespsychological factorsresiliencefishingSDG 11 - Sustainable cities and communitiesSDG 3 - Good health and well-beingSDG 8 - Decent work and economic growth
