The M7X Ready School Program is more than just a certification; it is a commitment to our students, educators, and communities. Our mission is to ensure that every public school in GMMA will be prepared for a magnitude 7 earthquake or higher, often referred to as “The Big One.”
The PlanSmart for Safe Schools is a comprehensive, evidence-based platform aimed at assisting schools in contingency planning and infrastructure investment. This initiative has been developed in collaboration with the Department of Science and Technology–Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (DOST-PHIVOLCS) and the World Bank.
Key Features:
Integration of Data: The platform combines geospatial and hazard data from GeoRiskPH.
Automated Planning: It allows schools to create automated Contingency Plans (ConPlans).
Enhancing Preparedness: The platform boosts preparedness, response capabilities, and long-term resilience planning.
The Pillar 1: Safer Learning Facilities Guidebook was developed to help school communities assess, improve, and maintain safer learning environments. Anchored on Pillar 1 of the Comprehensive School Safety Framework, it offers practical, inclusive guidance, focusing on infrastructure safety to promote safe, equitable, and continuous access to quality education for all. It further complements the DepEd Educational Facilities Manual by providing contextualized, school-level strategies that extend beyond technical infrastructure standards. This Guidebook serves as the first in a series of three guidebooks, with upcoming resources on Pillar 2: School Disaster Management and Pillar 3: Risk Reduction and Resilience Education.
The Psychosocial Support Activity Pack includes essential activities to promote and protect learners' socio-emotional well-being after disasters or emergencies. Developed by the Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Service (DRRMS) in partnership with the MAGIS Creative Spaces Inc., it guides teachers in helping learners cope with and recover from the emotional impacts, ensuring their mental health and resilience are supported.
