SCHOOL DISASTER CONTINGENCY FOR TYPHOON

time or place. During times of disaster, the risk to the most vulnerable groups in the

Disasters disrupt the schooling pattern of children and the youth, and affect
the quality of education service in school communities. Classes can be suspended for
an uncertain period of time and special classes may be necessary to make up for the
lost time, extending the school year of children. These special classes are usually held
in emergency learning spaces or makeshift classrooms within the school grounds.

What are its affects?

Serious disruption of life, probably arising with no warning, that causes or threatens
death or injury on a large scale and/or with destruction of property and disruption of
communication system.
Studies have shown that most people are injured by falling contents or by trying to
move to another location, such as running outside. Moving can be very difficult during strong
shaking, and the periphery buildings is the most dangerous place for falling building
components, especially in brick buildings. The safest action in most situations is to drop,
cover and hold on.
Students, faculty and administrators can prepare themselves for emergencies at
school in a number of ways, from conducting regular emergency drills and have the know-how
and appropriate mitigations as possible.
