School Disaster Management Planning
IS MY SCHOOL SAFE???
In the event of an earthquake, children and teachers in an unsafe
school building are at considerable risk. According to the Government
of Gujarat, a total of 31 teachers died and 95 were injured, 971
students perished (910 in primary schools, 37 in secondary schools, 3
in colleges and 21 in technical schools) and 1,051 were injured in the
Bhuj Earthquake of 2001. Formal education was disrupted due to
widespread damage to physicalinfrastructure. Many of the buildings
collapsed and many were declared unfit for use. Many of these
buildings had been poorly constructed, lacked earthquake resistant
features and were badly maintained (P 1 and P 2 show the collapse of a
school building in Ahmedabad city on account of the Bhuj
earthquake). The casualties might have been much higher had it not
been a holiday, when many students were either at home or were in
open spaces because of the Republic Day celebrations.

Aim and Objective:
Need for the plan:
The aim of emergency planning is to ensure that the safety of the students and the staff is maintained during an
emergency. The emergency management plan is a means by which this can be achieved.
In this unit, we will look at
- how to identify the hazards in the school
- how to manage the hazards
- how to mitigate the effects through planning and effective response
The School is a densely populated place and has small children that are one of the most vulnerable groups in the society.
To reduce this vulnerability particularly for schools, it is important to have a school Disaster Management Plan. Schools
also have many resources and are community nodes. Therefore, a School also has responsibility towards its immediate
locality, just as the neighbouring community is linked to the school.

Planning Principles:
When developing a school emergency management plan, observance of the planning principles mentioned below.
Simplicity: The plan shall be concise. Roles and responsibilities shall be clearly stated. Emergency procedure which staff
shall be expected to remember and implement shall be kept to a minimum.
Flexibility: The plan shall be flexible. Emergency procedures shall still work if key personnel are unavailable on the day,
or if a pre planned route to an evacuation assembly area is cut off by the hazard.
Comprehensive: It shall describe arrangements for preventing, preparing for, responding to and recovering from the
effects of an emergency.
Decision Making Process: The plan shall describe the decision making process which will be adopted when an
emergency occurs. While each emergency will be different, the decision making process shall remain reasonably
consistent.
Consultation: The plan shall be derived from consultation with the school community of various levels. One shall see to
it that the plan suits and is understood by all in the school. The commitment of individuals to the plan is likely to be
greatest when they have been involved in its development.
Dissemination: All members of the school community shall be familiar with the content of the plan, and shall be trained
in and regularly exercise its procedures. Apart from the school community, the plan shall be shared with the parents of
the students so that they too are familiar with the emergency planning of the school and there is no chaos.
Review: The plan needs to be reviewed on a regular basis, preferably annually and following any significant emergency,
to ensure that it remains workable.
Co-ordination: Planning in the school shall be coordinated with other agencies, such as the emergency services and
local municipalities, who shall have their own plans linked with the plans of the districts/municipalities/surrounding

community.
Policy: Policy issued shall be resolved during the planning process. The death of the student inevitably raises issues
concerning specially media. The stress could be reduced if local policy issues have been considered in advance.
Consistency: The plans shall be consistent with the local policies of relevant education authorities. The plan shall not
permit a lesser degree of supervision of students during an emergency than regulations required.
Scope of Responsibilities: The plan shall describe the scope and the limitations of staff and students responsibilities.
The school is responsible for ensuring the ongoing safety of the staff and students for the duration of the emergency.
Staff and students shall not be expected to place themselves in danger by combating the emergency themselves.
Co-operation: The plan shall also emphasise the role of the school in providing support to the emergency services (i.e.,
police, fire services, ambulances etc) that are legally responsible for managing the emergency.
