Abstract	This study examined the influence of disaster emergency management on the disaster preparedness of the Local Government Unit (LGU) of Naga City, with the ultimate goal of developing a contingency plan to strengthen local resilience for the calendar year 2025. Specifically, the research assessed the level of disaster emergency management along planning and policy, response and coordination, recovery management, mitigation, and system performance, and evaluated preparedness in terms of training and capacity, early warning systems, public awareness and engagement, resources and equipment readiness, and simulation exercises. It determined the significant relationship between the level of disaster emergency management and the level of disaster preparedness, and measured the extent of the influence. Then, developed a contingency plan to enhance the disaster emergency management and preparedness in response to natural disasters. Using a descriptive-correlational design, the study employed purposive sampling to select 48 respondents composed of LGU officials, staff, and barangay representatives directly involved in disaster risk reduction and management. Data were gathered through a structured survey questionnaire adapted from the UNISDR “Making Cities Resilient” tool, complemented by interviews and qualitative inputs. Weighted mean analysis was used to assess levels of management and preparedness, while Pearson Product-Moment Correlation and Coefficient of Determination (R²) measured relationships and influence between variables. LGU-Naga demonstrates substantial preparedness, with strong institutional planning, recovery management, and resource readiness. The strongest correlations were observed between recovery management and training and capacity, recovery management and early warning systems, and mitigation/system performance with resources and equipment readiness. Disaster emergency management significantly influences preparedness, providing a solid foundation for the development of a contingency plan aligned with RA 10121 and UNDRR standards to enhance resilience in Naga City.
