The decision whether or not to activate the Contingency Plan (CP) will be based on the findings of Pre-
Disaster Risk Assessment by the SDRRMC. If CP is activated, all clusters will convene at the Incident
Command Post. The Incident Management Team will be mobilized, together with the clusters, shall
implement the CP.

The Contingency Plan shall be deactivated once the situation has improved and when heightened alert is
no longer required. Upon deactivation, operation will still remain to until a “white alert” status is finally
declared.

Non-Activation

The decision not to activate the Contingency Plan (CP) will be based upon the findings of Pre-Disaster
Risk Assessment by the SDRRMC suplemented with gathered intelligence or information. Such decision
depends upon the perceived impact and risk of the disaster. In the event of Non-Activation, responders
will still be deployed to conduct normal operations to ensure the safety and welfare of Kalawaan
Elementary School.
