Determining Factors Influencing Filipinos’ Flood Disaster Response Perceived Effectiveness through Multiple Regression: A Case on Typhoon Vamco (Ulysses)

Abstract— In the Philippines, the 2020 Typhoon Vamco brought people catastrophic and resulted in severe flooding, congested evacuation centers, and stranded people amidst the COVID-19 pandemic. This study intended to identify the statistically significant variables influencing Filipinos‟ flood disaster response's perceived effectiveness with the 2020 Typhoon Vamco using multiple regression analysis. 567 participants voluntarily participated in the self-administered questionnaire distributed online. The researchers used convenience sampling due to the limitations brought by the COVID-19 pandemic. Results show that factors such as Government support (p-value = 0.033), Perceived behavioral control (p-value = 0.000), Social norms (p-value = 0.000), Intention to follow (p-value = 0.000), and Behavior (p-value = 0.000) were identified to be statistically significant variables affecting the flood disaster response‟s perceived effectiveness of Filipinos during the 2020 Typhoon Vamco. This study will be advantageous for researchers and local government units to develop the appropriate flood disaster response to minimize typhoon effects resulting from floods. Likewise, the framework adapted in this study can be expanded and extended to countries susceptible to the impacts of natural disasters.
