B. HAZARD ANALYSIS
CP FORM 1: HAZARD ANALYSIS
CP FORM 1: HAZARD ANALYSIS
The Hazard Analysis identifies and evaluates potential risks
to schools from armed conflict, focusing on probability and
impact. By ranking these factors, the analysis prioritizes
armed conflict as a top risk, highlighting the need for
immediate safety measures, preparedness, and resources.
This analysis helps schools effectively plan to protect
students and staff, ensuring a safer learning environment
during emergencies.

RESPONSE
ARRANGEMENTS
CHAPTER 3
Response
Clusters
CP Form 5: Response Activities
RESPONSE CLUSTERS
This structure allows for a clear breakdown of
actions based on the severity of the situation, with
specific responsibilities designated to appropriate
committees
and
personnel.
Each
scenario
progressively intensifies the response to manage
the situation effectively.
Resource
Inventory
CP Form 6: Resource Inventory
Resource Inventory is used to list and track available
resources
across
various
committees
(e.g.,
Prevention,
Preparedness, Response, Recovery) for handling emergencies
like armed conflict. This form details the type, quantity, and
status of resources, ensuring that each team has what they
need to respond effectively. It supports efficient resource
allocation, helps identify any gaps, and ensures readiness to
protect students and staff during emergencies.
Response
Projection
CP Form 7: Resource Projection
Resource Projection is used to identify and
address resource needs for emergency preparedness and
response. It lists each team’s required resources, current
inventory, and any shortages (gaps). The form also includes
plans for filling gaps, cost estimates, and potential funding
sources. This ensures that each committee is well-prepared
with the necessary resources to protect and support
students and staff during an emergency, such as armed
conflict.
CP Form 8: Inventory of Learning
Resources and Other IEC Materials
for Learning Continuity
Inventory of Learning Resources and Other IEC

modules,
digital
devices, visual aids, and informative materials—that are
crucial for maintaining educational continuity when regular
classroom learning is disrupted.
CP Form 9: Resource Gap
Summary
Resource Gap Summary is essential because it
identifies specific resources needed to enhance the school’s
preparedness and response to an armed conflict. By

this form helps prioritize critical items required for safety
and emergency management. It also provides a clear cost
estimate, which supports budgeting, securing funding, and
resource allocation. Ultimately, CP Form 9 ensures that the
school is better equipped to protect students and staff during
a potential crisis.
