Abstract/Summary

Disaster behavior and resilience is a growing area of study due to the frequency and normalcy of disasters occuring in the country. This, along with the significant population of people with disabilities (PWDs) in the country, shows a need to see how this vulnerable population behave and exhibit resilience during disasters. As such, the present study aims to examine the pre, peri, and post-disaster behavior of Filipino PWDs and the subsequent disaster resilience. Cases of 9 informants were gathered and data was collected using semi-structured interviews and a focus group discussion. Thematic analysis revealed that the informants’ pre, peri, and post-disaster behavior are demonstrated individually, with their family, and with their community. Their disaster resilience are exhibited through individual, family, and community levels as well. Discussion of the data connects the present findings with previous studies, the conceptual framework, and the research questions.
