 PREPAREDNESS MEASURES
School-Based Disaster Preparedness and Response
Measures for Tropical Cyclones, Flooding, and other
Weather-Related Disturbances and Calamities
DO 33 s 2021
Prepare for and Build Capacities for Disaster Response
 Ensure the availability of updated baseline education data of the school
 When possible, use the second or higher floors of multi-story school buildings for
laboratory, computer, and TechVoc rooms and equipment. School records,
documents, equipment, and learning materials should also be stored in rooms
located in these floors and secured in water-proof containers/packaging. In cases
when schools have no multi-story structures, pre-arrange with the LGU the use of
available multi-story government structures which can house these resources in
times of disasters
 Remove structures or items (e.g. garden or landscape decorations, school
ground furniture) that may obstruct the movement of learners and personnel from
the classrooms towards the open school grounds, pre-identified evacuation
areas, and entrance/exits
 Prune/trim trees that may cause harm to people or damage structures or
properties in the event of any weather disturbances
 Regularly clean and clear all drainage systems
 Conduct an annual risk assessment through the Student-Led Watching and
Hazard Mapping prior to the development of the School Improvement Plan (SIP),
guided by Department Order No. 23, s. 2015, and address identified hazards in
coordination with concerned DepEd offices, the LGU, and community
stakeholders
 Coordinate with the local DRRM council to harmonize and align DRRM measures
 Create and/or update the school DRRM Contingency Plan. The Contingency Plan
should include a Student-Family Reunification Plan. The Contingency Plan can
be a section of a school DRRM Plan which contains a Prevention and Mitigation
Plan;
 Integrate DRRM in regular school programs and activities and in the School
Improvement Plan (SIP)
 Pre-identify possible locations for Temporary Learning Spaces (TLS), and
alternative delivery modes of education
 Establish and operate an Early Warning System (e.g. bulletin board for weather
advisories, bell/siren emergency signal, mobile or web-based warning system)
 Maintain, disseminate, and post relevant and updated emergency hotlines, and
disaster measures and plans in strategic locations throughout the school
 In coordination with concerned DepEd offices and community stakeholders, make
available emergency response equipment and supplies
 Conduct quarterly multi-hazard drills applicable to the school’s identified hazards.
Involve the LGU, parents/guardians, partners and other stakeholders in the
conduct of the drills

28
 Conduct capacity building activities, including but not limited to basic life support
and use of the emergency and response equipment and coordination
mechanisms, involving learners, personnel, and community stakeholders

Preparedness for Response Measures

 Activate warning systems to disseminate advisories to learners and personnel
 Coordinate with the LGU, using existing guidelines, on the cancellation or
suspension of classes and work
 Take necessary steps to secure weak parts of school buildings against heavy
rain and strong winds. Single-level schools built at ground level may be anchored
by guy wires to strengthen the stability of the structure
 Prune/trim trees that may cause harm to people or damage structures or
properties in the event of any weather disturbances
 Clean and clear all drainage systems
 Switch off electrical lines
 Safeguard (e.g. place inside containers to protect against water) and transfer
education resources and vital records in the pre-identified storage area

Use of Schools as Evacuation Centers

Guided by Sections 4 and 5 of RA No. 10821 entitled
“Children’s Emergency Relief and Protection Act”
LGUs “shall establish and identify safe locations as evacuation centers for
children and families”, and that “only in cases where there is no other available place
or structure which can be used as a general evacuation center may a school or child
development center be used as an evacuation center.”

Request for the Use of Schools as Evacuation Centers

School heads are reminded of the following terms specified in RA 10821:
 LGUs shall coordinate with the School Heads and respective Schools Division
Superintendents before schools may be used as temporary evacuation centers. A
Memorandum of Agreement shall be executed between the LGU and the school
to be used as a temporary evacuation center.
 Should the school be used, the LGU shall coordinate with the School Head and
ensure that gymnasiums, learning and activity centers, auditoriums and other
open spaces shall be utilized first; classrooms shall only be used as a last resort.
 The use of school premises shall be as brief as possible. It shall only be up to
three (3) days for short-term displacement, fifteen days for medium and long-term
displacement, or until such time that the respective LGUs are able to establish
alternative transitional sites.
 If the use is predicted to exceed fifteen days, the affected LGU shall provide
written documentation to the DepEd and the DILG. Request for the use of school
as evacuation centers
