SCHOOL DISASTER RISK REDUCTION AND MANAGEMENT PLAN IN NEW NORMAL
QUEZON NATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL
PROPOSED SCHOOL DRRM PLAN
SY 2021 – 2022
I. Rationale.
Every year, across the globe, many people are exposed to the fury of disasters. Disasters are known to disrupt the lives of affected people, communities, and countries. Earthquakes,
typhoons, floods, landslides/ mudslides, volcanic eruptions, wildfires, tropical storms, oil spills, gas leaks, global warming, storm surge, and epidemics generally cause massive
devastation to property, forcing people to evacuate their homes, suspend businesses, disrupt schools, halt normal daily routine, and, more often than not, take away human and
animal lives. Often, disasters caused by natural hazards transform the physical landscape of the affected areas by toppling buildings, uprooting trees, upending roads, and dispersing
debris, resulting in a community becoming indistinguishable from its people. (SEAMEO INNITECH, 2015.)
Given this, the next best thing to do is to enhance community disaster risk reduction, management, and preparedness in the event disasters strike. Vulnerable communities in
particular must ensure that they are well-prepared to respond before the arrival of aid agencies in the disaster-affected area. In the last decade, effective early-warning systems and
evacuation plans at the national and regional levels have, to a certain extent, greatly reduced the negative impact of disasters. It is timely, therefore, for local communities including
schools to respond accordingly and demonstrate effective disaster preparedness.
The recent global pandemic, COVID-19 being is one of the biological hazards which has been continually strategized to defeat. Disaster Risk Reduction protects the lives and
livelihoods of communities and individuals who are most vulnerable to disasters or emergencies. Whether the disaster is caused by nature or humans, DRR limits its negative impact
on those who withstand it. (Concern worldwide US, 2020).
For school safety, it is deemed necessary to strengthen the DRR aims at reducing the vulnerability to, and impact of disasters on this school before it happens. This will serve as a
guide to prepare both the teachers and students for possible disasters, thus, reassuring and reducing the impact on the entire stakeholders.
