Student-led School Watching and Hazard Mapping

(Lifted from DO. No. 23 s. 2015)
PROCEDURES
A. Organizing and Preparing the School Watching Team

 The school head shall designate a moderator to facilitate a student-led
school watching and hazard mapping activity. The moderator is
preferably a DRRM-trained school personnel who is familiar with the
hazards and risks in the school or anyone who has previous/current
involvement in any DRRM activity.
 The School Watching Team (SWT) should compromise of at least 10
members. For medium and big schools, organizing various students’
organizations and/or student leaders for a school watching activity is
preferred to maximize engagement. For very small schools (i.e. with less
than five classes), teachers could integrate school watching in their
respective lessons as an outdoor activity. For very big schools, more than
one team could be organized to ensure that all grade levels, sections, and
groups are represented.
 The Supreme Student/Pupil Government (SSG/SPG) shall aid in the
identification of SWT members. The team members could be student
leaders of youth clubs, academic and/or non-academic clubs such as
boy/girl scouts, Red Cross, or representatives from various grade levels
and/or sections.
 The moderator is encouraged to redesign the process, if necessary, to
ensure appropriateness to the composition of the SWT. Preferably
SSG/SPG shall also participate in this activity.
 It is important that the moderator presents the guidelines in the
language that the SWT is most familiar and comfortable with.
 The moderator could prepare a timeline on the conduct of this activity to
ensure that this will not disrupt regular school activities and/or classes
of SWT members.
 The moderator will prepare the route for the school watching, designate
stops and provide a School Watching Checklist (see attached) to Team
members for guidance in the observation of hazards.
 Designate a start and end point for the school watching activity.
 The moderator shall orient the SSG/SPG on school watching and hazard
mapping before convening the SWT.
B. School Watching and Hazard Mapping

 The moderator should ensure that all SWT members have a pen and
notebook for note taking during the school watch.
 The moderator shall orient the SWT on the background and purpose of
this activity, and level-off with the Team on the conduct of this activity.
 Walk through each building, classroom, office, laboratory, workshop, play
area, garden, and any open area of the school.
 At each point, give a 3-5-minute stop for the Team to observe and take
down notes in every building, classroom, office, laboratory, workshop,
play area, garden, and any open area.
 Use the School Watching Checklist as a basic guide in identifying hazard
factors and/or at risk areas in the school. The Team members are
encouraged to add other risk factors based on their observation,
experience, and appreciation of the condition of the school
environment/facilities.
 After walking around the school premises, the moderator will facilitate
the processing of the information noted by the SWT.
 Then, materials such as cartolina, pens, crayons, coloured papers or any
drawing material will be distributed to the SWT to map and plot the
identified hazards and/or risk areas in the school.
 Allow the SWT to discuss the plotted hazard areas in the map to enhance
the initially placed markings.
 Finalize the hazard map based on the SWT discussion and prepare for a
presentation to the School-Community Planning Team (SPT).
