Safer, Stronger, Smarter: A Guide To Improving School Natural Hazard Safety: A Guide To Improving School Natural Hazard Safety

Editat de Federal Emergency Management Agency (U.S.)
en Paperback – 19 iul 2017 – vârsta ani
This Guide provides up-to-date, authoritative information and guidance that schools can use to develop a comprehensive strategy for addressing natural hazards. The Guide presents information and guidance on:
  • Identifying natural hazards that could potentially impact a school;
  • Making new and existing school buildings safer for children and staff, and more resistant to damage during natural disasters;
  • Planning and preparing for effective and successful response during a natural disaster;
  • Recovering after a natural disaster as quickly and robustly as possible, and being better prepared for future events; and
  • Engaging the whole community in the entire process in order to improve school and community disaster resilience.
This Guide is intended to be used by administrators, facilities managers, emergency managers, emergency planning committees, and teachers and staff at K through 12 schools. It can also be valuable for state officials, district administrators, school boards, teacher union leaders, and others that play a role in providing safe and disaster-resistant schools for all. Parents, caregivers, and students can also use this Guide to learn about ways to advocate for safe schools in their communities.

"School leaders and state officials are the specialists and authorities for educating and protecting our children. But natural hazards may be unfamiliar territory, requiring skills, plans, and support to which school communities may not have access. Poor building performance during a disaster is exacerbated by inadequate strategies to prepare for, respond to, recover from, and mitigate against natural disasters. In contrast, schools that have taken steps to reduce their risks and have adequately prepared for emergencies can respond effectively, recovery quickly, and help support the entire community to recover from a disaster. This Guide provides up-to-date, authoritative information and guidance that schools can use to develop a comprehensive strategy for addressing natural hazards."

"FEMA recently worked with the Department of Education and other federal partners to develop the Guide on Developing High Quality School Emergency Operations Plans (U.S. Department of Education, 2013), a school safety planning guide that covers a wide range of possible hazards and threats. The goal of FEMA P-1000 was to develop a companion guide that provides additional information specific to natural hazards to help schools be better prepared and better able to respond, recover, and mitigate future natural hazards. This Guide focuses on operational guidance (what to do before, during and after an event) as well as physical protection (what can be done to the structure and facility to improve safety). It was developed with input from design professionals, emergency managers, school administrators, teachers, representatives of concerned parent groups, and other relevant entities."
