The document outlines Isla Elementary School's contingency plan for earthquakes of varying magnitudes. It details procedures to follow before, during, and after quakes to ensure student and staff safety such as conducting earthquake drills, designating evacuation areas, and assessing damage after shaking stops. It also provides guidance on class suspensions and makes provisions for damage repair and makeup classes. The plan was prepared by the school's Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Coordinator and approved by the Head Teacher.
