As shown in Table 1, the thematic
network analysis surfaced the following dominant organizing themes: sense of preparedness, sense
of togetherness, (only two organizing themes are provided in this example) effective leadership
of local authorities, service provision at the macro level, rebuilding in a self-reliant manner, and
preparedness for future disasters
...

Sense of preparedness
...
In particular,
their experiences with previous disasters taught them valuable lessons on securing their lives and
properties
...
” (Informant 6)
Hence for the succeeding occurrences of natural disasters, the participants demonstrated
presence of mind and sense of urgency
...

Some participants even had to tie down parts of their houses
...
Upon knowing that a typhoon was coming, they
started preparing
...
They then started buying their food
and prepared candle and flashlight
...
”(Informant 3)
The reliance on television and radio for updated weather information was substantial in
alerting the community to prepare for disasters
...
Participants who were
near the fish ponds relied on their observations of the increase in water level
...
These practices were
evidenced in the following statements:
“When they knew that flooding would occur, the Barangay Tanod gave us signal and told
us, ‘You have to prepare
...
” (FGD Participant 1)
“Once we heard from the TV reports that floodwater would rise, that water would be
released from the dam, we started preparing for it
