For some communities, these natural hazards turn into disasters, resulting in tremendous losses and injuries for students, school staff and families. However, by taking preventative measures before hazard impact, and learning preparedness and response, a culture of safety can be fostered. Communities can reduce and even eliminate such losses. This handbook is aimed at administrators, teachers, support staff, and other individuals involved in emergency and disaster preparedness at schools. It seeks to: 1) guide administrators and staff in assessing risks and planning and carrying out physical protection measures; 2) develop skills and provisions for disaster and emergency preparedness, response, and rapid recovery; and 3) support schools in developing disaster and emergency plans specific to their local needs and reflecting good practices internationally and nationally.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOACCIDENTACCIDENTSAIRAIR POLLUTIONAIRWAYSALTERNATE ROUTEAMBULANCEAPPLICATION OF KNOWLEDGEAVALANCHEBLANKETBLANKETSBLEEDINGBUILDING CODESBUSBUSESCARCAREERCELLULAR PHONESCHEMICAL INCIDENTCHEMICALSCIVIL DEFENCECLIMATE CHANGECONTINGENCY PLANNINGCONTINGENCY PLANSCREDCROSSINGSCURRICULUMDAMAGE ASSESSMENTDEGREESDISASTERDISASTER MANAGEMENTDISASTER MITIGATIONDISASTER PLANDISASTER PLANNINGDISASTER PREPAREDNESSDISASTER PREVENTIONDISASTER RESPONSEDISASTER RESPONSE TEAMDISASTER RISKDISASTER RISK REDUCTIONDOCUMENTSDRAINAGEDROUGHTDROUGHTSEARLY WARNINGEARTHQUAKEEARTHQUAKESEDUCATION SECTOREDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONEDUCATIONAL PLANNINGEMERGENCIESEMERGENCY CALLEMERGENCY MANAGEMENTEMERGENCY MANAGEMENT AUTHORITIESEMERGENCY MANAGEREMERGENCY MEDICAL SERVICESEMERGENCY OPERATIONSEMERGENCY PERSONNELEMERGENCY PLANSEMERGENCY PREPAREDNESSEMERGENCY RESPONSEEMERGENCY SERVICESEMERGENCY SHELTEREMERGENCY SITUATIONSENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTIONEVACUATIONEVACUATION ROUTESEXPLOSIONEXPLOSIVEEXTREME WEATHERFAULT LINEFIREFIRE BREAKSFIRE DEPARTMENTFIRE EXTINGUISHERFIRE PREVENTIONFIRST AIDFIRST AID KITFIRST AID KITSFLOODFLOOD PRONE AREASFLOODINGFLOODSFOOD SHORTAGEFOREST FIRESFUELGENERATORHEALTH RISKHEAT WAVEHIGH ENERGYHIGHWAYHUMAN RIGHTHURRICANESINJURYINJURY PREVENTIONINSTRUCTIONINTERNATIONAL STRATEGY FOR DISASTER REDUCTIONLANDSLIDELEARNINGLIGHTINGLOCAL PUBLIC SAFETYMEDICAL ASSISTANCEMORGUENATURAL DISASTERSNATURAL HAZARDSNOISEOIL SPILLSPANDEMICPEDESTRIANPEDESTRIAN CROSSINGPEDESTRIAN CROSSWALKSPEOPLE WITH DISABILITIESPOLICEPUBLIC SAFETYPUBLIC SAFETY OFFICIALSRESCUE TEAMSRISK ASSESSMENTRISK REDUCTIONROADROADSROUTEROUTESSAFETYSAFETY EDUCATIONSAFETY ISSUESSANITATIONSCHOOL TRANSPORTSCHOOL TRANSPORTATIONSCHOOLSSEARCH & RESCUESEARCH AND RESCUESEARCH AND RESCUE TEAMSEAT BELTSSIGNAGESMOKESTAFF DEVELOPMENTSTOP SIGNSSTORMSSTUDENT BODYTEACHERTEACHER TRAININGTEACHERSTEACHINGTEACHING ASSISTANTSTERRORISMTERRORISTTHUNDERSTORMTORNADOTRAFFICTRAFFIC ACCIDENTTRAFFIC LIGHTSTRAINING RESOURCESTRANSPORTATIONTRANSPORTATION RESOURCESTRANSPORTATION SAFETYTRANSPORTATION SYSTEMSTRANSPORTATION USESTRIPSTRUETSUNAMITYPHOONSUNDERGROUNDUNIVERSITIESVEHICLEVEHICLE SAFETYVEHICLESVICTIMSVOLCANOWALKINGWATER SHORTAGEWATER SHORTAGESWEAPONWINTER STORMSWORKERS10.1596/17669
