13. 1. The School Earthquake and Fire Emergency Evacuation Plan should have provision to utilize all available open spaces nearest the building that are evaluated as safe from falling debris and other materials that may cause injuries to student. STAGE 2Developing the School Earthquake and Fire Emergency Plan

14. 2. Determine if there is sufficient open space for all. 3. Designate a specific open area for each class as their area of temporary refuge. STAGE 2Developing the School Earthquake and Fire Emergency Plan

15. 4. Determine the flow of traffic from each room along the corridors using the information on actual number of occupants per room and their designated evacuation area. STAGE 2Developing the School Earthquake and Fire Emergency Plan

16. 5. Indicate by arrows, the flow of student evacuation coming out of each room up to their designated evacuation site. This will be the suggested earthquake and fire emergency evacuation route for the students. STAGE 2Developing the School Earthquake and Fire Emergency Plan

17. 6. Prepare the final evacuation route and orient all the teachers and school staff about this. 7. Prepare Earthquake Survival Kits and First Aid Kits. STAGE 2Developing the School Earthquake and Fire Emergency Plan

18. STAGE 3Orientation Prior to the Conduct of Emergency Drill
