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.
CP FORM 2: ANATOMY OF THE HAZARD
CP FORM 2: ANATOMY OF THE HAZARD
This hazard plan helps identify root causes, recognize early warning signs,
and understand the factors that could trigger conflict, ensuring the school's
preparedness and fostering a safe learning environment.
This chart provides an overview of risks associated with armed conflict at
Kaylaway National High School. It highlights key Root Causes (e.g., local
tensions, geographic proximity to conflict areas), Early Warning Signs (such
as increased military presence or community concerns), Triggering Factors
(events that could spark conflict), and Mitigating Measures (like emergency
drills, communication plans, and coordination with authorities) to help
protect the school community.

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
Materials for Learning Continuity is essential because it
ensures that, even during armed conflict, students have
access to necessary educational materials and resources that
support continued learning. This form lists and organizes
available
resources—such
as
printed
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
documenting the gaps in equipment, training, and supplies,
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.
