Following a comprehensive hazard analysis conducted within our school community, the results have
revealed that earthquakes are ranked as the number one hazard. This designation is due to the significant seismic
activity in our region, posing a considerable threat to the safety and well-being of residents and infrastructure.
C. Hazard to Plan for:
To mitigate the impact of earthquakes, various measures are in place. Information, Education, and
Communication (IEC) materials disseminate knowledge about earthquake preparedness and response to the
community. Regular earthquake drills and simulations help schools, businesses, and communities practice
evacuation procedures and improve readiness. Conferences and workshops provide opportunities for
stakeholders to exchange knowledge, share best practices, and collaborate on resilience-building initiatives.
Finally, schools develop and implement comprehensive evacuation plans tailored to their specific needs and
vulnerabilities, ensuring the safety of students, staff, and visitors during seismic events.

The table CP Form 4A.1 on the affected learners in the aftermath of the earthquake reveals a concerning
impact on the school community. A total of 35 learners have been displaced from their homes due to the
destruction caused by the earthquake. These displaced learners are now facing uncertainty and instability,
requiring immediate assistance and support to ensure their safety and well-being.

The result of CP Form 4A.2: Affected Personnel, the table on affected teachers during the earthquake
scenario indicates that there are one teacher and one non-teaching personnel who have been displaced from their
residences because their houses were collapsed during the strike of worst earthquake. Furthermore, none of the
teachers or non-teaching personnel are reported to be outside of the evacuation centers. These findings suggest
that only 28% of teachers have been directly affected or displaced as a result of the earthquake.

The table provides a comprehensive overview of the distribution of affected learners across different
demographic groups. In each of the seven puroks, five learners have been impacted by the earthquake.
Additionally, there are 28 Indigenous Peoples (IPs) learners, four Muslim learners, and three learners with
disabilities (PWD) who have been affected by the seismic event.
This breakdown helps to identify the specific needs and vulnerabilities of different learner groups, informing
targeted response and assistance efforts to ensure that all affected individuals receive the necessary support and
resources to recover and resume their education in the aftermath of the earthquake.

The breakdown of affected personnel during the earthquake scenario reveals that there are two reported
instances of affected teaching and non-teaching personnel within the school community. The table reflects a
comprehensive overview of various categories of personnel, indicating two instances of impact across all
segments.
However, since two personnel are reported to be affected during the earthquake, it only signifies that there
is a positive turn-out of earthquake preparations and suggests that most of school personnel has effectively
learned to safeguard their well-being during the seismic event.

The table displays the Lead Agencies and its member agencies who are responsible in the different response
cluster identified by the school. This is to give direct leadership and accountability to the identified agencies in
order to provide immediate and organized delivery of rescue operations like the MDRRMO who is tasked as primary
actor in the Search and Rescue Retrieval Response Cluster, the PNP in the Security, Law and Order, and so on.
I. CP FORM 6 RESPONSE ACTIVITIES
Following an earthquake that impacts the school, the immediate priority is to ensure the safety and well-
being of pupils, school personnel, and visitors. Once the safety of the school environment has been assessed and
deemed secure, response activities are initiated to facilitate the resumption of classes within 72 hours, utilizing a
blended learning approach. Here's how the response activities unfold:
1. Within 0-3 hours : Standard safe mitigating measures are performed by the learners and teachers,
evacuate to the safe holding area, account and check the learners, coordinate with the BDRRMC, then
activate the Contingency Plan and conduct initial RDANA to assess the school status.
2. Within 3-6 hours: Activate Safe family reunification Plan, report to SDO, create help desk in school, and
provide First Aid to injured learners and/or teachers.
3. Within 6-12 hours: Assist MDRRM teams in searching for person trapped in the collapsed structures,
continuous monitoring and reporting of incidents.
4. Within 12-24 hours: conduct PFA to teachers and learners, and conduct orientation with the parents for
possible resumption of classes.
5. Within 24-72 hours: prepare school grounds and class modules for resumption of classes.
6. After 72 hours and onwards: resumption of classes through blended modality while continuing
communication with the BDRRMC until the situation is stabilized.
Resource Inventory
In the wake of an earthquake calamity, the school's need for medical supplies, emergency kits, and
additional human resources becomes paramount due to the insufficient resources currently available. Specifically,
the school needs to provide the medical supplies such as first aid kits in 1 is to 1 ratio with the school personnel,
emergency kits, and human resources such as PFAers and Security Guards to assist and aid the school community
during the calamity.
The school need to generate worth of 458,000.00 pesos in order to provide the needed resources listed
above.
