School Profile

Luna National Vocational High School is located at Alcala, Luna, La Union along
Luna-Balaoan road. It is approximately one kilometer from the town proper of Luna, La
Union and accessible by vehicles. There are daily tricycles from Luna and Balaoan and
vice –versa.

The school is situated along the national high way near the rice fields of the barangay.
Farming is the main source of livelihood in the community. Majority of the people are
Roman Catholic. Most of the people here are Ilocano.
Luna National Vocational High School was established in 2000. The lot was about
4,871 square meters donated by the local government of Luna, La Union
The school is offering Junior High School (Grade 7-Grade 10) and Senior High School
(Grade 11- Grade 12) TVL Tack with Automotive Servicing NC I and Caregiving NC II
as the specialization. The school has three hundred sixty-three (363) total enrollment last
school year 2019-2020. Two hundred eight (208) are male and one hundred fifty-five
(155) are female. We had eleven (11) standard size classrooms, six (6) shop rooms, one
(1) Library/ LR room, two (2) ICT rooms (JHS & SHS), two (2) faculty rooms (JHS &
SHS), two (2) admin office (JHS & SHS). The school has one (1) classroom that needs
major repair, its roofing collapsed during the very strong typhoon. Every learner had its
own seat for learning.
The school source of water is deep well but it is not potable based on the result of water
testing done school year. To prevent outbreaks of disease during a crisis, our school
distribute hygiene kits and build hand washing facilities and bought portable hand
washing system. Teachers teach our learners healthy practices like proper hand washing
and toot brushing. Every building had comfort rooms that can accommodate the ideal
student-comfort room ratio. Luna National Vocational High School had seven (22)
teachers, one (1) administrative assistant, one (1) head teacher, and one (1) principal. All
are nationally funded.
The continuous improvement of school projects focused on the school building
facilities.
Our sources of funds in our school are the MOOE, SEF, PTA, Canteen and Donations.
The MOOE fund contributes the highest value and canteen is the lowest value source of
fund.

COVID-19
On 31 December 2019, the World World Health Organization (WHO) was alerted to a
cluster of pneumonia patients in Wuhan City, Hubei Province of China. One week later, on 7
January 2020, Chinese authorities confirmed that they had identified a novel (new) corona virus
(COVID-19) as the cause of the pneumonia.

Epidemiological evidence shows that COVID-19 can be transmitted from one individual
to another. During previous outbreaks due to other corona viruses, including Middle-East
Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus (MERS-CoV) and the severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome
Coronavirus (SARS-CoV), human-to-human transmission most commonly occurred through
droplets, personal contact, and contaminated objects (fomites). The modes of transmission of
COVID-19 are likely to be similar.

The precise zoonotic (animal) origin of the COVID-19 is stil uncertain. The virus has
been identified in environmental samples from a live animal market in Wuhan, and some human
cases have been epidemiologically linked to this market. Other coronavirus, such as, SARS and
MERS, are also zoonotic, and can be transmitted from animals (civet cats and dromedary camels,
respectively) to humans.

On January 20, 2020, the first case of COVID-19 was reported in the Philippines in a 38-
year-old, female, Chinese national. Immediate case investigation and contact tracing was
conducted. Her companion, a 44-year-old, male, Chinese national became PUI and admitted in
the same hospital. He was positive for COVID-19 and died on 1 February 2020. The third
confirmed case was reported on 5 February 2020. She was a 60-year-old, female, Chinese
national. All confirmed cases had travel history to Wuhan City.

On 30 January 2020, WHO declared that the outbreak of COVID-19 constitutes a Public
Health Event of International concern. This a call to action for all countries to be prepared for
containment, including active surveillance, early detection, isolation and case management,
contact tracing and prevention of further spread.

DEPED CONTINGENCY PLANNING GUIDE

I. OBJECTIVES
This is the DepEd Contingency Plan for Covid-19 Pandemic. It covers the Department of
Education Regional Office I with the 14 Schools Division and has a 2,856 total no. of schools
within the region.
(This document was developed by the Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Service
(DRRMS), Disaster Management Group members of the Central Office, Regional and
Division DRRM Coordinators of the affected and assisting regions.)

This Contingency Plan aims to:

1. Align with the Harmonized National Contingency Plan for the Covid-19.
of the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (NDRRMC).
2. Establish the coordination and communication mechanisms among the Central, Regional
Office and Division Office.
3. Set the response and rehabilitation or early recovery roles and functions of the DepEd
Regional Office for purposes of education continuity heading to the ‘New Normal’.
4. Provide guidance for the continuing capacity building of DepEd offices and schools.
5. Determine the preparedness and prevention and mitigation measures to reduce the
impacts of the Covid-19.
6. Support the identification of needed equipment and supplies to reduce the impacts of the
Covid-19.

III. ACTIVATION, DEACTIVATION, AND NON-ACTIVATION OF CONTINGENCY

PLAN
The contingency measures in this document align with the 2019 NDRRMC Harmonized
National Contingency Plan (HNCP) for Covid-19. This will enable DepEd to have better
coordination horizontally, i.e. DepEd with other NDRRMC agencies, and vertically, i.e. DepEd
Central Office down to the schools.

A. Activation
The activation of DepEd’s Contingency Plan for Covid-19 is aligned with the activation of
the Harmonized National Contingency Plan. This include any of the following triggers:

 Presidential Proclamation to be issued declaring a State of Calamity due to a

Pandemic Situation (COVID 19).
 Regional Emergency Proclamation from Department of Health Regional Office
1(DOH RO1) due to a Pandemic Situation (COVID 19).
 DepEd Regional Office and divisions shall coordinate with the DRRMS for the
ongoing health situation on the schools within the region.

B. Deactivation
The trigger for deactivation of this CP on Covid-19 will be based on the declaration of the
Secretary, RDs, SDSs and School Heads upon the recommendation of
IATF/National/Regional DRRMC1 and other authorized government agencies.

C. Non-activation
• In the event that the HNCP is not activated, the response mechanisms detailed in this plan can
still be relevant for any Virus transmission.

IX. RESOURCE MAPPING AND PLANNING

 This part shall serve as an inventory of all existing human resources, supplies, and
equipment of the school that can be mobilized in preparing for response and during
response and early recovery after the onslaught of a hazard. Using Tables 7a and 7b
below, you will also be able to identify the projected needs in terms of human resources
and supplies & equipment and determine possible sources of funds to fill in the gaps in
training or procurement of equipment and supplies.
 Table 7a lists down all human resources that you would need to prepare and respond to
the hazard that you have chosen. You can list down all the teaching and non-teaching
personnel who have capacities/skills that are vital during response or early recovery.
Examples of these personnel are those trained in Basic Life Support, First Aid,
Psychological First Aid/Psychosocial Support, rescue, Incident Command System, etc.
 In Table 7a, you may include external resources or those personnel from partner agencies
and organizations (i.e. local DRRM Office, barangay rescue team, BFP, PNP, Red Cross,
etc) who can provide their skills and services durng response and early recovery phase.
 In Table 7b, list down all the equipment and supplies that you would need to prepare and
respond to the hazard that you have chosen. Indicate also their present conditions whether
they are fully functional or needs replacement.
 In filling out the projected needs of both Tables 7a and 7b, bear in mind the number of
personnel and learners that you have in your school in order to assess if you have enough
human and material resources to cater to the needs of your personnel and learners.

EFFECTIVITY
This contingency plan for _________________________ shall be effective and upon
publication. The plan shall be considered a “working document “and be subjected to continuous
