Panay island, Philippines and Shizuoka Prefecture, Japan are populated communities, highly vulnerable to earthquake hazards especially tsunami, and having recognized preparedness measures. This study differentiates their disaster management strategies as they vary in resources. It further compares their earthquake countermeasures to assess the level of compliance with the four priority areas of the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk 2015-2030. The previous experiences of researchers as practicing geologist, seismologist, and disaster manager have reinforced the needed information that were gathered through on-site visit, in-depth interview with disaster managers, and data mining using the websites of government agencies and private media entities. The collected data were subjected to content and narrative analyses. Findings revealed that Panay has minimal resources, yet utilizing the synergy of national and local governments and collaborating with foreign institutions, the private sector, and civil society organizations have enabled it prepare for devastating earthquakes. The high-income Shizuoka prefecture invested in innovation, logistics, provision of incentives, and exibility to achieve an advanced and a considerable earthquake preparedness.
