SCHOOL DISASTER MANAGEMENT PLAN FOR 15 SCHOOL

Schools are densely populated places that may have youths and small children, who are among the most vulnerable groups in society. It has been proven time and again that during disasters schools and school children are the most affected. To reduce this vulnerability, particularly for schools, it is important to have a School Disaster Management Plan. Schools, if better prepared for disasters, can also play a lead role in the community in responding to disasters. Therefore, the school, as an integral part of society, has the responsibility towards its immediate locality for the safety of its members, just as the neighboring community is linked to the school.
