Moderator’s Guide for Hazards Mapping

Materials needed: manila papers, pencils, markers, crayons/color pencils

 ANNEX 2 Risk Assessment and Hazard Mapping

1. Instruct the Student-led Risk Assessment (SRA) team to draw a map of their school and mark the places where the identified hazards had happened
in the last three years. The team could provide its own legends to describe the hazards experienced in their school e.g., ref-fire, brown-flood,
among others.

(If complete information is desired for the maps, write the risk information of the hazards on the side of the map and, using arrows, connect these
to the areas marked.)

2. The moderator could raise probing questions when necessary to make sure that the map is specific and clear.
