A mock drill is a practice or a trial warning by an institution or an organization,

acting as a disaster has happened in that place, they are considered an integrated

part of disaster preparedness. They prepare the person to face the hazard both

mentally and physically. A perfect plan is obeyed and carried out so that each and

every person in the infrastructure is safely evacuated. This helps to practically face

the disaster and be ready for it in advance. Mock drills are helpful in a number of

ways. They help to achieve accuracy for saving lives and property, they help to

make Response more cost effective and also minimize response time. They even

help to create trained manpower to respond professionally to disasters. Mock

Drills are also important as the Awareness generation through the conduct of Mock

Drills leads to acceptance by the community. This also helps to evaluate

suitability/ practicability of the DM plan and also to get acquainted with the roles

Each time a disaster occurs, masses of children are excluded from school and many

never return. Past experiences and the available evidences show that education

sector is among the hardest hit along with other sectors in the event of disasters.

Cases like fire accidents, threats to road injury or accidents and stampede are the

human made hazards which make schools more vulnerable. Schools located in the

urban and rural areas do have different set of vulnerabilities as the nature of

hazards and potential threats are different.

There is one common threat between urban and rural schools which is lack of

culture of safety in schools to have minimum standards/measures to protect

students and teachers from any natural or human made hazard, learning materials

SCHOOL SAFETY INITIATIVES

education and DRR policies, institutions, governance, resource allocation, disaster

preparedness and family inclusion within the framework of internal and external

environment of the school to reduce the impact of any possible threats to children.

The framework of culture of safety in school moves around child's right to

uninterrupted continuous education, child's right for safe environment and

disaster risk reduction. The concept of school safety in its current form, includes

safety issues both inside and outside the school. It includes issues of child

protection and safety that look at all forms of violence and deprivation that affect

the physical and mental well-being of children. A sit tends stop day therefore,

School Safety is a concept that encompasses “the creation of safe environments for

child restarting from their homes to their schools and back.
