A study determined the socio-economic factors influencing the biophysical and psychosocial conditions of the students, faculty and staff and stakeholders as survivors of Typhoon Washi (Sendong). This was done among the urban and rural schools in Iligan City, Lanao del Norte, Philippines. A total of 119 respondents from both urban and rural schools participated in this research. Using chi-square test, it revealed that for the faculty, the result was significantly different with P-value of 0.01. Among the students it revealed no significant differences at P-value of 0.99 and similarly among the stakeholders P-value of 0.99. This study therefore, implied that typhoon survivors had a relatively high tolerance level in terms of biophysical and psychosocial conditions. However, it is still recommended that at the local level, a plan for mitigation and adaptation of the possible problems occurring before and after a disaster will be considered. In the same way, an early warning system and recovery program to carry out interventions focusing on the psychological aspect must be considered immediately after the typhoon. This is to debrief them of the ill-effects of typhoon occurrence that may affect their educational conditioning.??
