4 .3 .1 Identification of School Hazards and its Mapping

We can identify the possible school hazards (inside and surrounding
the school) through the interaction and participation of stakeholders.
These hazards can be mapped. The school should prepare a school
safety plan with the help of identified and mapped hazards. By im-
plementing the plan, the disaster risks can be minimized. School
disaster risk reduction measures should be displayed in the appro-
priate place so that people can readthen1 easily. Different awareness
programmes such as interaction, interviewing, lecturing by experts, dra-
matization, etc. should be launched fron1 time to time. Therefore, it is
necessary to prepare the school safety plan and implement it effectively.

measures and the ways of management and present the summary.
