Chapter I. Background

A. SDO Profile/School Profile

SDO Luzon is situated in the northern most tip of Luzon mainland. It is classified into
Upper and Lower Luzon. The upper portion is about 67.2 percent of the total land area
and has a mountainous topography characterized by plateaus and intermittent
patches of valleys. Lower Luzon which is 32.8 percent of the total land area on the
other hand, is generally flat land with rolling mountains and plateaus.
The Schools Division of Luzon parallels with province’s AOR. It is comprised by the
seven municipalities namely: __________________________. It is sub-group into 133
barangays.
The following tables show the schools that are vulnerable to earthquake. The
Vulnerability assessment of school buildings are based on the height, stability status
(for major repair) and proximity to fault line.

Municipality F 1 12 7 32
Municipality G 1 9 3 12
Grand Total 6 60 48 246

The above table show that there are only six existing 3 storey school buildings with a
total of 60 classrooms in the whole schools division of Luzon. On the other hand, there
are also 48 2 storey school building with a total of 246 classrooms. Multi-storey
buildings are deemed more vulnerable to the damaging effects of earthquakes because
of the weight of the structure.

A total of 255 Kindegarten, 1811 Grades I- VI, 411, Junior High School, and 174

each year with at least 3-5 of which are devastating.

C. Hazard to Plan

With earthquake ranked 3rd, this contingency plan is focused to respond the
incidence of earthquake. The incidence of a 7.0 Magnitude in Abra last July 27, 2022,
caused destruction to structures particularly school buildings. Last November 25,
2022 a magnitude 5.0 earthquake was felt in the province and nearby provinces.
PhilVolcs reported that the epicenter was in Municipality A. With these two incidences
of earthquake, the need to plan for a worst case scenario is necessary.

warning sign of a possible incidence of an earthquake. To prepare for earthquake
impacts is focus on the compliance to existing government policies such as the
building code. Additionally, the regular conduct of information, Education
campaign and drills will increase awareness of the people on the right things to do
during incidence of earthquake that will lessen the disastrous impact.

Chapter II. Goal and Objectives

Goal
The goal of this contingency plan is to provide effective, efficient, and
immediate response mechanisms in the event of a disaster triggered by
incidence of an earthquake affecting the schools within the schools Division
of Mountain Province These actions will help ensure the learning continuity
and immediate provision of temporary learning centers to accommodate the
learners that needs direct interactions with the teachers.

Objectives
a) To pre identify possible temporary learning centers
b) To pre identify possible site for construction of TLS
c) To map out learners to undergo modular/online distance learning, blended

Chapter III. Response Arrangements

It is important to have an organized response system to accomplish the goal(s) and
objectives to provide the necessary services of the affected schools. In the event of a
devastating earthquake, various government agencies and CSOs will be operating
to provide resources and services for response and recovery. Therefore, to be able to
properly manage available resources and services, it is a must to have systems in
place that will guide for the arrangements for efficient and effective coordination,
command, and control.

The following clustered and delineated function shall be observed for the
coordination of necessary activities. Each of the cluster shall select among
themselves a cluster Lead. The Lead shall be the convenor of the whole cluster as
maybe necessary to discuss concerns.
Those identified to coordinate shall be responsible in coordinating any activities of
their cluster. And, to make contacts with external partners and at the same time
update the Team of any progress, issues or concerns that may be encountered
during the operations.
These response clusters shall at the same time go along with the BE-LCP functions.
other plans adopted by the division shall harmonize with the purpose of this
contingency plan.

another structure.
The Emergency Operations Center shall be established at the Division Office where

CHAPTER IV. Activation, Deactivation, and non-

Activation of Contingency Plan

The contingency measure in this document aligns with the provision of RA 10121
known as the Philippine Disaster Act of 2010 and RA 10533 (Enhanced Basic
Education Act of 2013). This will enable the Division to have better coordination
with DRRM Councils and other National Line Agencies, and DepEd Regional and
Central Offices.
With the rapid onset characteristic of this disaster, the activation and deactivation
are dependent from impact of an earthquake. However, exceptional circumstance
that may unfold requiring the activation of this contingency plan shall be
supported by a recommendation of the Division DRRM Team as a result of a Pre-
Disaster Risk Assessment.

A. Activation
Triggers for activation:
 Result of conducted Rapid Damaged Assessment and Needs Analysis.
 DepEd Central Office, Regional or PDRRM Council Advisories.

B. Deactivation

 National, Provincial, Municipal Government advisories.

 Assessment report of the response clusters.

20 | P a g e
C. Non-activation
Absence of the triggering factors enumerated for activation shall be the basis
for non-activation of this plan.

In any case of Activation, De-activation or non-activation, this Contingency

Plan shall be revisited and maintained as continuing plan that can be used
for similar case that may arise in any given time.
