THE PRINCIPAL'S PERCEPTION ON THE IMPLEMENTATION OF DISASTER PREPAREDNESS SCHOOL
This study aims to determine school principals' perceptions on the implementation of Disaster Preparedness Schools, especially in Bone Bolango District. Data were collected using observation, documentation, and questionnaire distribution. The data were then analyzed using descriptive statistical analysis techniques. The results showed that most school principals' perceptions of the knowledge and skills, along with the policies in the implementation of Disaster Preparedness Schools were good. In terms of knowledge and skills, 63.7% of principals have a good perception, while the other 36.3% have a sufficient perception. In terms of policy, 87.3% of principals have a good perception and 12.7% have a moderate perception. On the other hand, principals' perceptions in terms of emergency response and resource mobilization are lacking, where, in terms of emergency response, only 28.4% of principals have a good perception, while the other 71.6% have a moderate perception. In terms of resource mobilization, 20.6% of principals have a good perception and 79.4% have a moderate perception. Thus, improvements and enhancements need to be made to both parameters.
