Abstract
Hagonoy is a thriving coastal town that experienced perennial flooding problems due to strong typhoons, monsoon rains, back-flooding from the neighbouring provinces of Pampanga and Nueva Ecija. The study uses Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) to structure and measure the interaction between flood risks and mitigation strategies in the economy, health, and transportation sectors. Descriptive-evaluative and descriptive - correlational methods were applied to provide a more robust and comprehensive understanding. The findings revealed a positive and statistically significant correlation observed between Risk Economy and Risk Health, and Risk Economy and Risk Transportation emphasizing a meaningful relationship between variables and strategies that were proposed to enhance the existing management plan of the locality.
