Risk Reduction for Parts of a School Building and Amenities
Risk Reduction for Parts of a School Building and Amenities
Main Entrance / Gate- Shall be located preferably on a secondary
road and must be designed swing-in to the school property
- Provide separate entrance for the pupils/students and guests
- Main entrance shall provide enough clearance for the trucks and medical vehicles
#1
# 1
Electrical Fixtures
- Require protective covering for all wiring and fixtures- Install a fire alarm system that is affordable- Provide environment friendly fire extinguishers- Report any defective electrical wiring and fixtures to
experts- Hang curtains in the classroom away from wall-mounted
fans
#2
Stairs / Handrails – distance between railings shall not be more than 100mm (4 inches ) so that pupils/students cannot squeeze through-For abrupt change in floor elevation, provide ramp to avoid freak accidents-To minimize the chance of slipping, avoid smooth or polished steps surfaces and provide non-slip nosing-Always provide a landing with railing between a doorway and a stairway
#3
Windows
- windows shall be provided with security grills with emergency exit
#4
Doors / Exits
- Classroom shall always be provided with two swing-out Doors at the opposite sides of the classroom
#5
Walls
- Walls shall be smooth finished to prevent injury to highly-active, playful and mobile primary grades pupils.
#6
Mitigation- refers to measures that can reduce or eliminate the vulnerability of the built environment to hazards, whether natural / man made
GOAL: is to minimize loss of life, property and function due to disasters
Risk Assessment- the fundamental process of identifying what can happen at a given school location
- How can it affect the teaching-learning activities
- What the potentials losses could be
Hazard Resilient Approaches# 2
Multi-Hazard Guidelines:
• Earthquake • Tropical Cyclones and Tornados• Flooding • Rainfall and Wind-Driven Rain• Different Settlement (Subsidence)• Landslide • Tsunami
Earthquake• Building design will be influenced by the level of
seismic resistance desired
Tropical Cyclones / Tornado• Building roof, windows and to design the structure to
withstand the expected lateral and uplift forces.
Flooding • Proper site location away from floodplains, elevated
above expected flood levels to reduce the chances of flooding
Rainfall and Wind-Driven Rain • Keep the interior space dry
Differential Settlement (Subsidence) • Careful site location, foundation must be appropriately
constructed basement, and other below-ground projections must be minimized Landslide
• Select non-hillside or stable slope sites
• the impact can be mitigated through urban/land planning, community preparedness, timely warnings, and effective response
Tsunami
