The study examines principals', vice principals', and teachers' perception regarding the introduction of digital technology and environmental education in secondary schools as a measure to disaster prevention in Nigeria. The study employed a survey research design to seek the perception of principals, vice principals, and teachers in secondary schools in south-south Nigeria. A questionnaire checklist was developed as an instrument for data collection. 125 participants participated in the study (that is, 48 principals and vice principals; 77 teachers from public and private schools in south-south Nigeria). The instrument was reviewed by experts for content validity. Based on the experts' understanding of digital technology and environmental education, their views and opinions were sufficiently qualified to provide insight into the reliability of the instrument. The data were analyzed using percentage frequency, mean scores, and t-test statistics.
