This quantitative research determined the help needed by two hundred households resettled in Barangay Tanawan in Dingalan, Aurora after they were devastated by flashfloods in 2004. The road networks of the Barangay were underdeveloped. It also has vast idle lands and unused concrete structures. During difficult times, many among its people go to nearby towns for part-time work. Findings of the study revealed that the resettlement needs help from Nueva Ecija University of Science and Technology Graduate School in terms of Beautification and Sanitation, development of Garden Tourism, Barangay Management and Administration, Development Education and Citizen's Productivity.A 3-year development program with a budget of P400, 000 was proposed by the researchers to address the needs.
