Purpose This paper aims to assess the effectiveness of the city disaster prevention, mitigation, response, recovery, and rehabilitation practices of the local governments in Metro Manila, Philippines. Design/methodology/approach Based on purposive sampling technique, descriptive-evaluative and comparative research designs were adopted to assess the effectiveness of local governments in implementing the four thematic areas: (1) disaster preparedness, (2) disaster prevention and mitigation, (3) disaster response, and (4) disaster recovery and rehabilitation. Findings The findings showed that disaster preparedness had the highest grand mean of 3.47, interpreted as effective, in the effectiveness of the City Disaster Risk Reduction Management in Metro Manila. This was followed by disaster response, and disaster recovery and rehabilitation, both with a grand mean of 3.42. Disaster prevention and mitigation received the lowest grand mean of 3.40. The overall grand mean across the four thematic areas was 3.42, also interpreted as effective. Originality/value The paper will be valuable to policymakers, legislators, and scholars in effectively implementing their policies and guidelines in disaster management, risk reduction, rehabilitation, and recovery
