SCHOOL DISASTER RISK

REDUCTION AND MANAGEMENT

(DRRM)
SCHOOL HAZARDS
AND RISKS
Floods, tropical cyclones
and major earthquakes are
not always as destructive
but the deadliest and
costliest of hazards.
Many risks associated
with hazards can be
avoided by the
actions we take.
PURPOSE
To facilitate the
protection of
children, education
personnel, and
education itself.
To develop and
improve existing
policies, practices,
protocols and plans
at the school level.

 DISASTER

The serious disruption of the

functioning of society, causing
widespread human, material or
environmental losses, which exceed
the ability of the affected people to
cope using their own resources.
 DISASTER RISK

The potential disaster losses, in lives,

health status, livelihoods, assets and
services, which could occur to a
particular community or a society over
some specified future time period.
 VULNERABILITY

The characteristics and

circumstances of a community, system
or asset that make it susceptible to the
damaging effects of a hazard.
 CAPACITY
The combination of all
the strengths,
attributes and
resources available
within a community,
society or organization
that can be used to
achieve agreed goals.
 DISASTER RISK REDUCTION
The concept and practice of reducing
disaster risks through systematic efforts to

factors of
disasters, including through reduced
speaks of DRR as “reducing
exposure to hazards, lessened vulnerability
of peopleexisting
and property,risks”
wise management
of land and the environment, and improved
preparedness for adverse events.
 DISASTER RISK MANAGEMENT
The systematic process of using administrative
directives, organizations, and operational skills
and capacities to implement strategies, policies
and improved coping capacities in order to
lessen the adverse impacts of hazards and the
possibility of disaster.

DRM is DRR in ACTION

 PREVENTION
The outright avoidance of adverse
impacts of hazards and related
disasters.

Sendai Framework for DRR speaks of

prevention as “prevention of new
risks”
 MITIGATION
The lessening or limitation of the
adverse impacts of hazards and related
disasters.
• Adverse impacts of hazards often cannot be prevented
fully – use interchangeably with prevention
• Scale or severity can be substantially lessened by
various strategies and actions
• Both structural and non-structural measures
 PREPAREDNESS

The knowledge and capacities developed

governments, professional response
and budgetary support and and

Permanent measures to repair or

dwellings and infrastructure and to set
the economy back on

“build back better”

 RECOVERY
The restoration and improvement
where appropriate, of facilities,
livelihood and living conditions of
disaster-affected communities,
including efforts to reduce disaster risk
factors.
Applies “build back better” principle
 RESILIENCE
The ability of a system, community or society exposed to hazards to
resist, absorb, accommodate and recover from the effects of a
hazard in a timely and efficient manner, including through the
preservation and restoration of its essential basic structures
and functions.

COMPREHENSIVE DRRM IN
BASIC RDUCATION
FRAMEWORK
It seeks to:
1. Protect learners and
education workers
from death, injury,
and harm in schools;
It seeks to:
2. Plan for educational
continuity in the face of
expected hazards and
threats;
It seeks to:
3. Safeguard education
sector investments; and
It seeks to:
4. Strengthen risk
reduction and resilience
through education
The framework is expected to
guide schools in assessing,
planning and implementing their
specific prevention and mitigation,
preparedness, response, recovery
and rehabilitation interventions.
 THREE PILLARS OF THE
