 MESSAGE

Several disasters brought damages and distress in the entire nation and the
lives of the people were greatly affected. The horrible scenes after the strongest
typhoons like Yolanda and Ondoy hit some areas in the country and the massive
and powerful earthquakes experienced across the globe served as eye opener
to local government units and to the community to seriously implement
preparedness plan before, during and after the occurrence of disaster. Thus,
communities must be educated and well trained in safety measures and
preparedness so that loss of lives and properties will be abated.

Based on the report as articulated in the Hyogo Framework for Action 2005-
2015 there is a need to “use knowledge, innovation and education to build a
culture of safety and resilience at all levels”. This observation would suffice that
the need for a concrete plan and innovative strategies to promote disaster
preparedness awareness is relevant and shall be implemented first in the school
as the second home of pupils.

The School Contingency Plan as one of the tough and best innovations as
to disaster preparedness highlighted and featured strategic emergency plans in
respond to the existence of natural hazards. This also serves as mechanism to
encourage and involve all the partners and stakeholders of school-community to
extend possible assistance to be provided for the success and accomplishment
of each key area of DRR preparedness.

Building a strong and resilient community lies on the practice of its work of
plans, indeed planning is vital to achieve goals resulting to a better outcome. This
contingency plan will surely synthesize a more responsive and resilient institution
in times of emergencies.

SCHOOL CONTINGENCY PLAN IN THE EXISTENCE OF NATURAL HAZARDS;

EARTHQUAKE AND TYPHOON

I. HISTORICAL BACKGROUND

DON NEMENCIO CLEMEÑA MEMORIAL SCHOOL is a complete elementary

school that caters children from Kindergarten to Grade 6. It is located in Barangay
Bulihan, one of the largest barangays in the eastern part of Plaridel.
The school was first established as a primary school in 1937 with two-
classroom building and became a complete elementary school in 1975. The
school has a total land area of 6 102 sq. m. The land was formally donated by
Don Nemencio Clemeña, a philanthropist from Obando, Bulacan in 1972. In
honor to the donor’s benevolence, the school was named after him, thus the
name Bulihan Elementary School was changed to Don Nemencio Clemeña
Memorial School until this day.
The institution’s prime advocacy is to produce functional, literate and
morally upright learners.
To date, the school, as headed by the principal, has two (2) pre-school
teachers, 15 grade school teachers, a utility worker and a canteen helper.
Added information based from Census of 2008:

Land area : 493 hectares

Population : 5989
Local Industry : Salted egg making, embroidery and clothes
making
Source of Income : Agriculture - Farming, Poultry, Piggery, Fishery

 SCHOOL MAP
School Risk Profile
Since the school is now 45 years from its construction, the risk status is
considered as medium-high as far as the physical structure of the building and
site is concerned. Agricultural parts in the area were converted into industro-
commercio establishments which possibly caused the flooding in the presence of
heavy rains and strong typhoons. With this, exposure from hazardous chemicals
from industries could feasibly happened in the future.
Aside from this, the school conducted annual hazard mapping to assess
the existence of risk found within the area. The hazards identified should be
immediately addressed and necessary actions should be taken to lessen or
prevent the adverse effects to all the stakeholders especially the pupils.
The illustration below shows the hazard map of the school
School’s Basic Education Information System
The EBEIS of the school is vital in the conduct of monitoring and damage
assessment in the occurrence of varied hazards. This system is the best key in order
for the school and other local emergency units to immediately respond in
rehabilitation and recovery phases.

II. OBJECTIVES

The 2018 Contingency Plan covers our school’s strategic emergency plan
focused on natural hazards such as earthquakes and typhoons. The said plan also
designed concrete interventions to its secondary hazards to identify
preparedness approaches to their effects.

With this, the following objectives were crafted to ensure that the
implementation of this plan would be well executed;
 2.1 identify the vulnerable hazards possibly experienced in the school;

2.2 conduct risk assessment to strengthen capacities and lessen its impacts;

2.3 involve school's partners and stakeholders in formulating course of

actions in respond to adverse effects of disaster and;

2.4 review the emergency plans to sustain the potentials and improve its
flaws.

III. HAZARDS

Don Nemencio Clemeña Memorial School is one of the oldest primary

schools in the district of Plaridel, hence its physical structure as far as the building
is concerned is quite susceptible to the great impacts of disaster and may lead
to its secondary hazards.

The area where the school is situated is exposed to the following hazards:

1. earthquake

2. typhoon resulting to flooding

The impact of each hazard cannot be easily determined at this point in

time however the previous experiences on the effects brought by the said risk
could serve as basis to identify the vulnerable divisions on damages to school
buildings and its physical components.

Even if the area where the school is located has not been directly affected
by the recent natural hazards, the Municipal Disaster Risk Reduction and
Management Council of the Municipality of Plaridel has already prepared
comprehensive policies and contingency measures once these catastrophes
greatly affect not only the specified area but also the entire town.

( see attached DRRM Plan- Municpality of Plaridel- Chapter II)

V. CAPACITIES AND VULNERABILITIES

The presence of different interventions and programs to sustain the level of

preparedness is undeniably significant in the procedures to be undertaken as to
response, recovery and rehabilitation.
 On the other hand, gaps on the areas for preparedness are need to be
addressed and provide appropriate plans to suffice the capacities essential to
manage the adverse conditions or risks.

 VI. PREPAREDNESS MEASURES

The relevance of devising a concrete, attainable and manageable

preparedness plans to a definite hazard is like constructing a building with a
comprehensive blueprint to make its architectural structure firm and seismic
resistant. A comprehensive, realistic and adaptable plan that would serve as
mechanism to provide all the needed resources in times of emergencies. The
processes and appropriate actions to be implemented are the most important
key areas of the said preparedness measures.
