INTRODUCTION TO COMPREHENSIVE
SCHOOL SAFETY
HAZARDS IMPACT AND CHILDREN’S RIGHTS
Every year, natural hazards and technological hazards become both
small and large disasters. These disasters threaten the lives of
children, their families and education personnel. These disasters also
deprive of their right to a continuous, quality, basic education in a
safe environment.
Many, perhaps even most of these risks can be avoided by the actions
we take.
School disaster management is designed to protect children,
education personnel and education itself.
 COMPREHENSIVE SCHOOL SAFETY

Annual floods, tropical cyclones, and infrequent but major earthquakes are deadliest
and costliest of disasters. The most terrible consequences are deaths and injuries in
schools. Schools that are unusable because of damage, prolonged use as shelters, unsafe
access, loss of equipment and materials, or lack of teachers can lead children to fall
behind, fail to achieve their goals, and lose their hopes and dreams.
The goals of DRR in the education sector
The goals of DRR in the education sector
1. To protect children’s right to safety, and
2. To protect children’s right to education continuity.
In the process we will also be safeguarding educational investments and strengthening
disaster resilience everywhere, through education.
 COMPREHENSIVE SCHOOL SAFETY
To achieve these goals is a little more complicated. A comprehensive
framework for school safety needs education sector policies and plans
that are aligned with disaster management at national, regional,
district and local school site levels. There are many people involved,
and three major areas of overlapping concern.

1. Safe School Facilities

2. School Disaster and Emergency Management
3. Disaster Risk Reduction and Resilience Education
 SCHOOL DISASTER MANAGEMENT
PLANNING: ROLES AND
RESPONSIBILITIES
1. LEADERSHIP AND COORDINATION
School Safety is the job of the entire school community. However,
school disaster emergency management requires leadership and
coordination by school administration, and involvement of teachers,
staff, students, parents and neighbors. It can, and should be
incorporated into normal management at each administration level in
the education sector.
The committee responsible for school disaster and emergency
management is responsible for leading in the following six steps
before a disaster.

within 72 hours after any hazard or emergency via SMS;
12. Track and report the progress of recovery and rehabilitation initiatives to
the SDO;
13. Report and update the SDOI on the demobilization of evacuation centers in
schools.
 SCHOOL DISASTER MANAGEMENT:
ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES
3. 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, you need to be sure that the following are represented in the
process: administration, faculty, staff, and local disaster management
committee representative. Be sure to also consult students with disabilities
with their parents, so that all of their needs will be considered.
 SCHOOL DISASTER MANAGEMENT:
ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES
4. INVOLVE STUDENTS, PARENTS AND THE COMMUNITY
Be sure to involve students in your planning. Students will have
many creative ideas and solutions to problems, and can become
mentors to younger and new students.
Be sure to involve also the parents. You will need their help in
order to succeed. Link and coordinate your school disaster
management plan with others in the community who also care about
school safety and educational continuity.
SCHOOL DISASTER MANAGEMENT:
ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES
5. COMMUNICATE THROUGH YOUR CHAIN OF AUTHORITY
AND ACROSS SECTORS
It is the role of national education authorities to establish policies
and guidelines for comprehensive school safety, for both public and
private schools at all levels. It is the role of sub-national education
authorities to help obtain information about the hazards that affects
your province and district, and to share this information with you.
Similarly, each school disaster plan, provides information about local
hazards, vulnerabilities and capacities. With this information, these
authorities will be able to begin to plan to assist you to reduce your
disaster risks, develop greater resilience, and to respond and recover.
 SCHOOL DISASTER MANAGEMENT:
ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES
6. STEPS, ACTIVITIES, GUIDANCE AND FORMS
The committee should annually conduct the following activities
and complete the following forms. One way to organize this is to
cover one major step per month. Related activities for student and
family participation are provided in the SCHOOL DISASTER
MANAGEMENT ACTIVITIES.
