b. Aim and objective of the plan

To collate all the information needed for effective management of disasters in

Schools

To establish an emergency response system in school

To prepare the school community for any emergency response

To define roles and responsibilities for effective response

To create awareness and build the capacity of school community

To implement mitigation activities in school

To promote partnership among various stakeholders

Section2. Hazard, Risk and Vulnerability Assessment

Hazards are events or physical conditions that have the potential to cause fatalities, injuries,

property damage, infrastructure damage, agricultural loss, and damage to environment,

interruption of business or other type of harm or loss.

Risk is the relative degree of probability that a hazardous event will occur. Risk is defined as the

probability of meeting danger or suffering harm or loss.

Vulnerability is a condition wherein human settlements, buildings, agriculture or human health

are exposed to a disaster by virtue of their construction or proximity to hazardous terrain.

The aim of Hazard, Risk and Vulnerability assessment is to make risk based choices of

alternate unwanted outcomes of any hazard and to address vulnerabilities, mitigate

hazards and to prepare for response.

It is done to anticipate the problems and possible solutions to minimize the damage and to

save lives.

a. Non-Structural Assessment

Over 90% of post earthquake damage is of non-structural in nature. The greatest number

of injuries during an earthquake is caused by falling objects.

Non-structural elements are those elements of a building that will not cause a building to

collapse if they fail. These elements rely on structural elements for support, and include

exterior elements such as parapets, windows, doors, interior elements such as suspended

ceilings, lights, building utilities such as ACs, gas & water connection pipe and building

contents such as table, chairs, file cabinets, computer, wall hangings etc.

The assessment of these elements in order to identify and minimize the risk is known as

Non-structural assessment.

Note: The above list is indicative. Schools may add more details to the above list if they find

it appropriate while conducting the hazard, risk & vulnerability assessment.

b. Structural Assessment

Structural elements of buildings are the structural members of the building of which the

building is composed of. It includes foundation, columns, beams, floor system, roof system

and connections between the structural members. The failure of any one member of the

building may lead to collapse of the structure completely.

The assessment of these structural members of a building is known as structural

assessment.

Section3. Preparedness

Preparedness means performing those activities that are aimed at reducing the risk of various

hazards, improving response activities and coping capabilities. Disaster preparedness is

building up of capacities before a disaster situation prevails in order to reduce impacts. It is

necessary for school community to prepare for any disaster situation. Children being the future

of tomorrow should be ensured a safe learning environment and prepared well to respond to

any emergency situation. To put this into practice it is suggested that every school must

Page 7: SCHOOL DISASTER MANAGEMENT PLAN FORMAT Disaster Mgt... · b. Aim and objective of the plan To collate all the information needed for effective management of disasters in Schools To

constitute School Disaster Management Committee along with sub-committees/teams to ensure

better preparedness and response in disaster.

a. Constitution of School Disaster Management Committee (SDMC)

School must create a School Disaster Management Committee for conducting various

preparedness and mitigation activities pertaining to the response plan. It is vital that SDMC

must be functional throughout the year. SDMC must conduct various activities to ensure

that the school students, teachers and other staff are well aware and trained in responding

to any emergency situation. The SDMC will also bring various stakeholders under one roof

so that the continuous effort of every stakeholder will create a resilient school and safer

environment for education.

evacuation route if anyone who uses the map.

Also mark the alternative routes if possible.

e. Annual calendar for conduction of various preparedness activities in school

An annual calendar must be prepared by school administration (SDMC) in consultation

with other stakeholders for conducting various preparedness activities. This calendar will

help in capacity building of students and will create awareness through various resources.

g. Capacity building and training

Capacity building and training of teachers, students, and other staff is an important aspect.

For responding to any emergency situation school community must be trained in basic

disaster management skills. The SDMC must have the basic understanding of disaster

management. The sub committees under SDMC must be trained in their respective fields

for effective management of disaster situations.

School administration must arrange training programs for students, teachers, and other

staff in consultation with GSDMA, local fire brigade, health centre, police station and civil

defense.

A training calendar must be prepared for this purpose.

a. Hazard specific response plan

School can create its Incident response system for better coordination among various

committees. In case of any disaster, the incident response system could be useful for

organizing and mobilizing existing manpower and resources. This is the framework which

could help in coordinating and linking management. This standard framework can be used

in any disaster situation for monitoring and executing responsibilities.

The disables are the most vulnerable people in disaster situation. This part is often

neglected in disaster management. Existing disaster management plans pay less attention

to the needs of disabled people in spite of the fact that disasters may create new disability.

Therefore to avoid further disability cases and to secure the existing, special provisions

must be included for disabled people in any disaster management plan.

Some of the key points which must be kept in mind are:

of disable people and free movement in and around school campus.

school is from physical threat. Periodic safety audits must be done in order to assess the

vulnerability of school from potential threat.

3. Inspection of Mid-Day Meal Food – It can be done through mid-day meal

inspector/health official of that region.

4. Inspection of Drinking Water – It can be done through Municipal

corporation/municipality.

5. Washroom Inspection – It can be done by school administration.

6. Electrical Safety Audit – It can be done with the help of Electricity department, local

engineering college.
