It encourages personal and organizational preparedness, guides mitigation work, assures two fire and building evacuation drills annually, and leads one full simulation drill annually, evaluates the results, and adjusts the plan accordingly. Ideally the committee is empowered by and maintains formal links between school and disaster management authorities.
- 11. II. SDMP: Rolesand Responsibilities 2. Representation If your school already has a school-based management committee, school improvement committee, or educational development committee , then the roles and responsibilities for school disaster and emergency management should be included through a regular part of the agenda, some special meetings, or a sub-committee. To do this well, you need be sure that the following are represented in the process: administration, faculty, staff, students, parents, and local disaster management committee representative. Be sure to also consult with students with disabilities and their parents, with minority language groups, and with both girls and boys, so that all of their needs are considered. During the actual response or immediate recovery, external representation will also be critical. This includes representation in Local DRRMO meetings, education cluster meetings and inter-cluster meetings.

II. CONTEXT ANALYSIS A. Disaster Risk Situation This one of the most important components of the SDMP. In this section, you will present your Risk Assessment Matrix and Context Analysis Summary and Vulnerability and Capacity Assessment. This section should convey the overall picture of disaster risk at your school (needs to be updated yearly) B. Mission of School and DepEd: Here you will list the mission of the Department of Education for your division level, the mission of your school, and the vision statement (if applicable) that your SDRRMG members have created for disaster risk reduction at your school
- 56. Creating a SchoolDisaster Management Plan (SDMP) C. DepEd’s Mandate and Role in Disaster Management: In this section, you will list the pertinent highlights of DepEd Order 55, s. 2007 (available on your resource CD).

- 58. Crafting a SchoolDisaster Management Plan (SDMP) B. Disaster Management Action Plan: This is another extremely important component of the SDMP. It states what specific actions stakeholders will take to implement DRR messages, measures and actions in the school. It specifies the activity to be accomplished, when it will occur, who is responsible, what materials will be needed, and how it will be funded. (see matrix in session 2) IV. CONTINGENCY PLANS :Document that sets out an organized, planned and coordinated course of action to be followed in case of an emergency or disaster. The plan should specify what needs to be done, who is responsible for doing it, when it should be done. A. Early Warning Plans: It is essential to have a uniform early warning system for fire and flood at your school. Just as PAGASA issues alert warnings for oncoming storms, your school needs to have its own warning system in place for potential threats. The warning system should include a specific signal (bells or whistle) for each warning level – from alert, to ready stage, to evacuate. All pupils and staff need to be fully aware of the signals so they can properly respond to an emergency.
