DISASTER CONTIGENCY PLAN

I. BACKGROUND

Disaster is a serious disruption, occurring over a relatively short time, of the

functioning of a community or a society involving widespread human, material,
economic or environmental loss and impacts, which exceeds the ability of the
affected community or society to cope using its own resources.

Natural or man-made emergencies that cannot be handled by affected

communities who experience severe danger and incur loss of lives and properties
causing disruption in its social structure and prevention of the fulfillment of all or
some of the affected community’s essential functions.

In contemporary academia, disasters are seen as the consequence of

inappropriately management risk. These risks are the product of a combination of
both hazards and vulnerability. Hazards that strike in areas with low vulnerability will
never become disasters, as in the case of uninhabited regions.

Pursuant to Republic Act 10121 also known as Philippine Disaster Risk

Reduction management Act of 2010 and RA 9729 Climate Change Act of 2009 and
RA 10821 Children’s Emergency Relief and Protection Act.

The Department of Education, as mandated by the Constitution is primarily

responsible for the education and manpower development of the country and for the
formulation, planning, implementation and coordination of the policies, plans,
programs and projects in the areas of formal, informal, and non-formal education at
the elementary, secondary and the alternative learning system. This mandate also
includes supervision of all basic educational institutions, both public and private, as
well as the establishment and maintenance of a complete, adequate and integrated
system of education.

The Department is in charge of raising the standard of basic education and

administrative efficiency in the delivery of educational services that are relevant and
in pursuance to the national development goals. The Department, as provider of
basic education, serves million school children (School Year 2017-2018) and
envisions highly competent, civic-spirited, life skilled and God-loving Filipino youth
who will be the future contributor towards the building of a humane, healthy and
productive society.

Take steps to prepare for emergencies, to help meet your and your family's
needs. Become better informed on possible emergency situations, to determine the
potential risk to you and your loved ones. Preparing ahead for possible emergencies
may help you reduce or eliminate some harmful situations, and may also reduce
inconvenience in the event of an emergency. It usually require Disaster
Preparedness and Contingency Planning.
