DEFINITION OF TERMS
EMERGENCY Any natural or man-made situation that results in severe injury, harm,
or loss of humans or property.
EMERGENCY RESPONSE TEAM A team of federal personnel and support staff that is
deployed by FEMA during a major disaster or emergency; the duty of
the team is to assist the FCO in carrying out his or her responsibilities
under the Stafford Act; team members consist of representatives
from each federal department or agency that has been assigned
primary responsibility for an emergency support function (ESF) as
well as key members of the FCO’s staff.
HAZARD The probability that a disaster will occur (hazards can be caused by a
natural phenomenon [e.g., earthquake, tropical cyclone], by failure of
man-made energy sources [e.g., nuclear reactor, industrial
explosion], or by an uncontrolled human activity [e.g., conflict,
overgrazing]).
HAZARD IDENTIFICATION/ANALYSIS The process of determining what events are likely to occur in
a specified region or environment (e.g., earthquakes, floods,
industrial accidents).
LOCAL GOVERNMENT Any county, city, village, town, district, political subdivision of any
state, tribe or authorized tribal organization, or native village or
organization, including rural communities, unincorporated towns and
villages, or any other public entity.
NATURAL DISASTERS Natural phenomena with acute onset and profound effects (e.g.,
earthquakes, floods, cyclones, tornadoes).
PREPAREDNESS All measures and policies taken before an event occurs that allow for
prevention, mitigation, and readiness. (Preparedness includes
designing warning systems, planning for evacuation and relocation,
storing food and water, building temporary shelter, devising
management strategies, and holding disaster drills and exercises.
Contingency planning is also included in preparedness as well as
planning for post impact response and recovery.)
PREVENTION Primary, secondary, and tertiary efforts that help avert an emergency;
these activities are commonly referred to as “mitigation” in the
emergency management model (e.g., prevention activities include
cloud seeding to stimulate rain in a fire; in public health terms,
prevention refers to actions that prevent the onset or deterioration of
disease, disability, and injury).
RECOVERY Actions of responders, government, and the victims that help return
an affected community to normal by stimulating community
cohesiveness and governmental involvement. (One type of recovery
involves repairing infrastructure, damaged buildings, and critical
facilities. The recovery period falls between the onset of the
emergency and the reconstruction period.)
RELIEF Action focused on saving lives. (Relief activities often include search
and rescue missions, first aid, and restoration of emergency
communications and transportation systems. Relief also includes
attention to the immediate care of survivors by providing food,
clothing, medical treatment, and emotional care.)
RISK ASSESSMENT A systematic process that determines the likelihood of adverse health
effects to a population after exposure to a hazard; health
consequences may depend on the type of hazard and damage to
infrastructure, loss of economic value, loss of function, loss of natural
resources, loss of ecological systems, environmental impacts,
RISK MANAGEMENT The process of deciding which action to take when a risk assessment
indicates that a danger of loss exists. (Risk management includes a
range of actions [e.g., prevention, mitigation, preparedness, recovery]
that are designed to mitigate an increasing risk of natural and
technological hazards, decrease a risk to existing levels, and plan
ways to respond to natural and technological hazards as well as
catastrophic events.)
WARNING AND FORECASTING Monitoring events to determine the time, location, and
severity of a disaster.

Rationale
The Contingency Planning will focus on the four (4) focal points and these are
Disaster Prevention, Disaster Mitigation, Disaster Preparedness, Emergency Response and
Rehabilitation to determine the Disaster Risk Identification, Assessment and Monitoring.
The Philippines is situated in the Pacific Ring of Fire with two major tectonic plates,
thus making it vulnerable to volcanic eruptions, earthquakes and tsunami. Andres Bonifacio
Elementary School prioritized the development of this Earthquake Contingency Plan for
earthquakes have the potential to cause the most severe and widespread damage and
because the West Panay Fault stretches more than 90 kilometers from the Iloilo towns
including San Joaquin which is clear and solid proof that West Panay Fault is active.

Joaquin and Antique, specifically the Tobias Fornier (Dao), Antique. Moreover, the Lawigan
river traverse along the North-East of the Barangay. The said river is also a source of food
such as “Katang”, “Kagang”, and “Urang”. It is also a source of water to irrigate rice fields.
When there is an inclement weather usually the school and barangay suspend the
classes due to the current location of the school which is situated along the river that makes
the school prone to flood and more risk on the part of the learners and teachers who will
cross the river.
Physical Description
Recently, earthquakes with various epicenters and magnitudes shook Panay and
Guimaras in 2018. Stronger quakes recorded had epicenters in San Jose, Antique with
magnitude 4.7 and depth of eight kilometers; another one with epicenter in Sibunag,
Guimaras had a magnitude of 4.0 and depth of three kilometers; and the strongest at
10:54 a.m. in Guimbal (later revised by the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and
Seismology to be in Leon, Iloilo) at 4.8 magnitude with depth of three kilometers with
which most areas in San Joaquin were also affected including Brgy. Andres Bonifacio.
14
Based on the assessment of the hazards, Andres Bonifacio Elementary School requires
having a contingency plan for earthquake that should help establish effective and efficient
mechanism for preparedness and response.

A. Goal
The goal of the contingency plan is to provide effective, efficient, timely and well-coordinated
response mechanisms in the event of the occurrence of an earthquake in the Municipality of
San Joaquin. Such mechanisms shall help to protect lives, properties and the environment,
and restore the immediate needs of the affected communities.
B. Objectives
1. To ensure the protection of lives and properties in the event of earthquake at Andres
Bonifacio Elementary School;
21
2. To determine the immediate needs and the resources that will meet the needs in the
event of earthquake;
3. To establish coordination and linkages between and among the stakeholders of
Andres Bonifacio Elementary School in the event of the earthquake

Others___________
Andres Bonifacio Elementary School’s Contingency Plan shall be activated based on the
findings of SDRRM Team’s Rapid Damage Assessment and Needs Analysis (RDANA). Upon
activation, it will be rolled out by the institution.
The school head shall then convene all the clusters to assess the situation. Afterwards,
he/she shall officially activate the Emergency Response and delegate authority to it from the
37
SDRRMC. The ER Team will proceed to implement tactical activities based on the strategic
decisions of the clusters.
Once the situation improves and the heightened alert gets lifted, the contingency plan shall
be deactivated. The recommendation for deactivation shall emanate from the ER, and then
be sent to the school head. Meanwhile, operations shall continue until the MDRRMC
declares white alert status. This is when the operation will be officially terminated.
If, however, the situation fails to improve over an extended period of time, the school head
shall mobilize and deploy the Emergency Response Team and carry on with the operations
until conditions normalize.
Non-activation
If the RDANA and the MDRRMC decide against the activation of the contingency plan, the
ER will remain on blue alert status and continue operations until the situation normalizes.
Write shop (refinement of Contingency Plan document): Selected technical people from the
different clusters consolidated, reviewed and refined the contents of the CP that was
deliberated during the formulation process. They transformed the contents into a working CP
document.
Simulation of the Contingency Plan of Andres Bonifacio Elementary School: To test the
coherence of the CP, a Table Top Exercise was organized for the School Disaster Risk
Reduction and Management Council (SDRRMC). The goal was to ensure the interoperability
of the response cluster, Emergency Response Team, of the Andres Bonifacio Elementary
School DRRMC in response to worst-case scenarios. The exercise actors were members of
the School Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council and response cluster leads.
