    Dissemination of DRR Education: Key to reducing disaster risk at the school level

    Background

    The school as an education institution has the responsibility to deliver education. Schools, have
    to plan and commit in making effort to create a conducive learning atmosphere and process to
    enable the students to develop their potentials actively. Pertaining to this, the school still gains
    trust as an effective institution to build the culture of disaster preparedness in societies,
    particularly among students, teachers, education practitioners, other stakeholders as well as to the
    public.

    The knowledge and capacities of school institution, professional response and recovery
    organisations, communities and individuals to effectively anticipate, respond to, and recover
    from the impacts of likely, imminent or current hazard events or conditions. In the effort to
    encourage schools to develop disaster preparedness, various institutions have implemented
    various disaster risk reduction education programs/activities at school level. For instance,
    installing early warning systems, identifying evacuation routes and preparing emergency hotline
    numbers. Extra-curricular activities, capacity-building and the dissemination of information
    about DRR through information education and communication (IEC) materials are needed to
    change people’s attitudes toward disaster and to increase their awareness.

    Process

    Lawy High School uses different activities and information dissemination regarding disasters in
    which it become effective and dynamic strategy in spreading out disaster education. Access to
    information on what to do before, during and after disaster such as earthquake and fire are posted
    in the bulletin board. Availability of school evacuation map along with signs and symbols are
    easily understood and posted in every building of the school. Records of important contacts such
    as MDRRMC office, PNP, hospital and rural health unit can be easily accessed through the ____
    of the classroom. Besides being provided with knowledge, we invited MDRRMC and BFP to teach
    student the different preparedness plan in case of disaster. Students also learned how to save lives
    by participating in different drills such as earthquake and fire. Training in first aid, search and
    rescue, and disaster preparedness techniques were also taught to students. Being trained in search
    and rescue and being provided with knowledge to conduct such initiatives increased student’s
    confidence about their ability to respond during disaster.

    Changes observed or Outcome

     Knowing the steps to take during a disaster such as earthquake and fire can greatly protect
    their self and reduce the danger they may face.

     Evacuation map helps the students to identify the safe areas where they can go in case of
    crisis

     Symposium conducted by MDRRMC and BFP help them to be aware what strategy or
    preparedness they should do in case of disaster.

     Safety drills prepare the students to respond quickly, calmly and safely.

     First Aid Training provide knowledge and life saving skills to assist injured or ill person
    during a variety of emergency situation

     Students are important agents of change, providing DRR knowledge to them


    results in the speedy dissemination of that knowledge. Student transfer
    information about DRR to their parents and guardians, who in turn circulate it
    throughout the community.
