The Philippines is a hazard prone country so most of the population is being affected mostly by natural and man-made hazards.             One of the highly affected by these hazards are the students all over the country. They are commonly victims of unexpected occurrence which put their lives to danger aside  from the fact that schools in the Philippines were typically used as evacuation centers where students are being affected due to suspension of classes, and is assumed that academic activities are displaced.               Students are not aware of such phenomena that most of the time are confused on what to do since this type of situations were not integrated in the curriculum which resulted muddle and anxieties.             The Laguna State Polytechnic University (Sta. Cruz Campus) as a premier educational institution situated in the CALABARZON area is responsible for the education of the students on the awareness of hazards they come across.             The focus of this study is to find the level of DRR awareness of the students, types of hazards that they encountered or experienced, perception of their risks and readiness. It is at this juncture that the College of Arts and Sciences (CAS) is considering the possibility of putting up a DRR CAS Student Center to further mitigate the effects of disaster/ major incidents and global diseases specifically to students.
