The occurrence of natural calamities to different parts of the country to areas where its existence has been long forgotten by the settlers has become apparent and was estimated as stronger compared to other calamities. In effect, alongside with the fact that climate shift and population increase is at hand, disastrous events such as typhoons brought thousands of people homeless and the worst lifeless. Most victims come from the families that are not capable of affording better homes situated in safer areas. With these critical situations in sight, the scope of the disaster becomes wider which greatly affects the country?s economy. The province of Compostela Valley is known to have been recently struck by a typhoon. The purpose of the study was to produce disaster resilient prototypes suitable to the upland communities. The ability of the user to sustain the changes and improvement to the housing prototypes and to the site is an essential factor in the disaster mitigation techniques selection. By looking at the susceptibility of the built environment and the coping capacity of the socioeconomic domain, findings suggest the spaces, building materials, and costs that the rural communities needs and could afford. The study arrived to three (3) housing prototypes whose form were dependent upon its location and to the hazard it needs to act upon. Community facilities essential for the community's disaster resilience were also identified.
