CONTINGENCY

PLANNING FOR
BASIC EDUCATION
 OBJECTIVES
At the end of this module,
participants are expected to:
•To discuss the different steps in
contingency planning for Basic
Education
•To draft a contingency plan for their
respective region/division.
WHAT IS
CONTINGENCY
PLANNING?
 DEFINITION OF CONTINGENCY PLANNING
Republic Act No. 10121:

“A management process that

analyzes specific potential
events in a state of uncertainty
and establishes response
arrangements in advance to
enable timely, effective and
appropriate responses to such
events and situations.”

 DEFINITION OF CONTINGENCY PLANNING
IFRC Contingency Planning Guide 2012:

“Aims to prepare an organization to

respond well to an emergency and its
potential humanitarian impact. It involves
anticipating a specific hazard based on
specific events or known risks at local,
national, regional or even global levels
(e.g., earthquakes, floods or disease
outbreaks), and establishing
operational procedures for response,
based on expected resource requirements
and capacity”
CONTINGENCY PLAN
Salient Features:
• Hazard-specific;
• Flexible, revisited, and
updated annually;
• Preparedness plan turns
into response actions
which include alternative
course of actions to
address the gaps

 WHY CONTINGENCY PLANNING?

CONTINGENCY PLANNING is
our commitment to the Sendai
Framework for Disaster Risk
Reduction (SFDRR) 2015 - 2030
 WHY CONTINGENCY PLANNING?
CP is required by RA 10121
Rule 6, Section 4 (3),
Implementing Rules and
Regulations (IRR) :
“The Provincial, City and
Municipal DRRMOs or BDRRMCs,
in coordination with concerned
national agencies and
instrumentalities, shall facilitate
and support risk assessments
and contingency planning
activities at the local level.”

 WHEN DO WE DO CONTINGENCY PLANNING?

2.
LATER, when we 3.
1. have more JUST BEFORE
As early information ? the event to maximise
4.
as NOW information ?
RIGHT AFTER the exact
damage is known?

 WHEN DO WE DO CONTINGENCY PLANNING?

“It is better to plan when it is

not needed, than not to have
planned when it was
necessary.”

 KEY LEARNING
• Contingency planning is a process of projecting scenario of
natural or human induced hazard and at the same time
delineating specific strategies to address capacity gaps in
relation to the identified hazard. It also involves delineating
specific roles to key actors together with the timeframe.
• Contingency planning is required in different international
and national policies and it is embodied in Preparedness.

26
 KEY LEARNING
• Contingency planning must be done as early as we
projected a specific event.
• Contingency planning must not rely on few or selected
people but with several people especially those required to
work together in the event of an emergency.
• It can be applied to different events and as preparation to
natural and human induced hazards.
• The different processes involved in contingency planning
are risk assessment, response capacity mapping and
developing strategies, timeframe and key actors.
