Diseño de un plan de emergencia ante riesgos y desastres naturales en la unidad educativa San Vicente de Andoas

Abstract

The main objective of this study is to safeguard the lives of the children and teachers of the San Vicente de Andoas Educational Unit. With the aim of mitigating risks and optimising the response to possible natural disasters. The research focuses on the identification of natural hazards relevant to the geographical location of the educational institution, as well as on the analysis of the vulnerability of the infrastructure and the student population. To achieve this, a survey of the current situation of the institution was carried out, identifying its main risks and hazards, and also with the help of the members of the educational unit, relevant information was obtained and evaluated through surveys to find out if they are prepared for an emergency. Based on this information, a comprehensive plan is developed that covers aspects such as safe evacuation, coordination of resources, effective communication and continuous training of staff and students. In addition, strategies are proposed to strengthen awareness and a culture of prevention, fostering resilience in the face of possible adverse events. The expected outcomes of the implementation of this plan include risk reduction, protection of life and property, as well as minimising the impact on the educational process. This research contributes to the field of school safety by promoting a safe and prepared environment.
