Disaster and Emergency Preparedness: Guidance for Schoolsviii
IntroductionMore than 400 national disasters take place every year, affecting more than 230 millionpeople and causing an average of almost 75,000 deaths annually (CRED, 2008).Worldwide, 450 cities with populations over 1 million face recurring earthquakes.Cyclones, typhoons and hurricanes are among the deadliest and costliest of disasters.Droughts and desertification currently affect 250 million people and threaten 1.2 billionpeople in 110 countries (UNESCO, 2007). Annually recurring floods regularly prevent millionsof children from attending a full year of school.Education is a human right, universal and inalienable. Education is especially importantin enabling people to reach their full potential and exercise other rights. This right doesnot disappear or get suspended because of disasters and emergencies. When education isinterrupted or limited, students drop out, with negative and permanent economic and socialimpacts for students, their families, and their communities. Natural hazards are part ofthe context for educational planning. Whether it is annually recurring floods, a once-in-5-generations earthquake, the increasing severity of storms and cyclones, water shortages, orthe slow onset of rising sea water levels, these known and expected hazards can be mitigatedwith the determined application of knowledge, education, and ingenuity.We are not able to prevent the earth from shaking, the wind from blowing, or the rainfrom falling. However, with assessment and planning, physical and environmental protectionand response preparedness we can prevent these events from becoming disasters. Sinceschools are our universal institution for sharing knowledge and skills, the expectations forschools to be role models in disaster prevention is high. Successful disaster mitigation is oneof the ultimate tests of the success of the education we provide over generations.This Handbook is written for administrators, teachers, support staff, and other individualsinvolved in emergency and disaster preparedness atschool.
