GUIDANCE NOTES Early Learning Center (ELC) Gawad KALASAG Author’s Notes: 1. 2.
I.
This Guidance Notes is a work in progress. The assessment tool which is the object of this guidance notes was adopted from the assessment tool for schools. It was tweaked to fit the mandates under the ECCD Law.
ELC Building 1. Building Components – The building make, lay-out and facilities in the building should be suited to the needs of pre-school children, particularly 0-5 years old. 1.1 Area should be sufficient to accommodate a well-laid out early childhood center 1.2 Early child-friendly layout means the layout should be geared towards play and other activities that maximize the use of the 5 senses; 1.3 Window/Ventilation – the learning area should be well ventilated – either naturally by windows or by air conditioners; 1.4 Roofing should be high enough such that there is no feeling of congestion; 1.5 Railings/handrails/ramps should be smooth without pointed corners and should be adjusted to the needs of young children; 1.6 Non-toxic wall finish should be of material that does not easily peel off or emit toxic substances; if painted, should be water-based; 1.7 Fire extinguishers/exits should be provided upon turnover of the building to the ECCD adviser. 2. Other Facilities 2.1 Secure gates for ingress/egress – applicable if ELC is a separate building or equivalent if within the barangay hall. Idea is to keep away non-essential personnel from the ELC learning area; 2.2 Waiting Lounge – A waiting area, if for any reason the ELC learning room is not yet open, may also serve as the lounge area for “yayas”, guardians or parents; 2.3 Perimeter fence – additional security measure for the young children; minimizes the possibility of kidnaps; 2.4 Waiting Shed – Again applicable for ELCs that are single-detached. Idea is for the young child and the guardian to have a place where to wait for their ride; say if it is raining 2.5 Covered pathwalks – if the location of the building so requires. 3. WASH Facilities should be sufficient for the number of children, functional and adapted to the height of young children is important in developing health habits in the young. 3.1 Clean/potable water source – self explanatory; 3.2 Sanitary toilets – clean and dry are minimum standards; 3.3 Handwashing facilities – sufficient number vis-a-vis number of children; height adjusted to young children; 3.4 Non-toxic drinking facilities – if ELC is not connected to a certified chlorinated water system, water for drinking should be stored in food-grade containers; 3.5 Wash for physically impaired – necessary if there is/are PWDs in the class. 4. Power & Telecommunications Facilities - These facilities are necessary to make the ELC conducive to play/learning. 4.1 Stable power source – for lighting and ventilation purposes (fans/airconditioners);

Office of the Administrator, Office of Civil Defense +63 (2) 912-2424 Email:
[email protected] Website: www.ndrrmc.gov.ph
4.2 BFP-certified electrical connections – a passing BFP safety inspection report should cover this indicator; 4.3 Child-friendly electric fans/gadgets – aside from being clean, fans should be “poke free” and installed beyond reach of children; same with any other gadgets; 4.4 Emergency telecoms facilities – Need not be located in the ELC room; but a communications facility for emergency purposes should be available; 4.5 Internet/Web connectivity – where available, bonus points if there are programs in the web integrated with the children’s play/activities. II. Safety Check on Health & Environment Warning Signs 1. ELC Safety & Security – This section provides for the safety and healthy environment of the young child. a) Pedestrian lane markings – May be necessary if ELC building entails crossing the street; b) Loading/Unloading signs – Helpful and should near the pedestrian lane for convenience; c) Stop & Go Signs for ELC traffic coordination, humps – May be a helpful sign to facilitate crossing of the street to the ELC center.
Security Security provision by barangay – Barangay should have an assigned security personnel on call during emergencies; b) Emergency arrangements in cases of emergency – ELC should have minimum protocol arrangement with barangay for emergencies: medical, flash flood/earthquake, etc., persons to call depending on need; c) Security ID for guardians/screening protocols – most applicable in urban barangays where people traffic within the vicinity of the ELC center is relatively heavy – intent is prevent ingress to unwanted people; d) Stand-by transportation in cases of emergency – A dedicated vehicle for the purpose deserves to earn a bonus point. Health & Environment Safety a. Screen to guard against mosquitoes other vectors of diseases – self explanatory; b. First aid kits/medical supplies – minimum standards as specified by DOH/city/municipal health office; c. Feeding program – affordable but nutritious, regularity and sustained feeding program deserves bonus point(s); d. Conducting WASH and health activities – regularity of WASH activities to develop the habit in the young child. a)
2.

GUIDANCE NOTES Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) Gawad KALASAG CY 2018 Rationale: All State Universities, Colleges, and other private academic institutions for higher learning headed by the Commission on Higher Education (CHED) and other autonomous HEIs have the primary responsibility of instilling and inculcating to students knowledge which will arm them to face the challenges of life beyond the academe. As such, it is the intention of this guidance note, to assess the preparedness and capability of 680 Public HEIs (including satellite campus) and 1708 Private HEIs in terms of DRRM. Republic Act 10121 or the Philippine Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Act of 2010 has stated that the Chairman of CHED is a regular member of the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council or the NDRRMC, as such, this gives a strong foothold on the responsibility of HEIs in DRRM. As provided for in Section 14 of RA 10121, the integration of Disaster Risk Reduction Education into the School Curricula, headed by the CHED for the tertiary level, in coordination with the OCD and other relevant agencies, including the National Service Training Program (NSTP) is imperative. The National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Framework emphasizes the use of resources for disaster prevention, mitigation, preparedness and climate change adaptation in order to effect the paradigm shift that will be more effective towards attaining an integrated approach to genuine social and human development to reduce disaster risk and that we conside the HEIs to be at the forefront of instilling and inculcating DRRM knowledge and practices to students. Following this principle, the new checklist gives emphasis on a scoring mechanism that encourages HEIs to enhance their respective disaster risk reduction activities. For its indicators, a total score of 100 points have been distributed accordingly: a. Policy and Plans = 30 points; b. Capability/Capacity = 40 points; c. Emergency Preparedness and Response = 15 points; and, d. Partners (Stakeholder Agreement) = 15 points. Please note that in accordance with the new Gawad KALASAG Guidelines, a score of 80% is needed for an entry to be endorsed by the Regional Selection Committee to the National Selection Committee. I. Policy and Plans: 30points 1. Issuances, policies, plans, memorandum, resolutions, orders, or guidelines – (total of 8 points) 1.1 Board of Regent Resolutions(4 points) - issuances made by the Board of Regents of the HEIs regarding DRRM

1.2 Minutes of the Meeting (4 points) - initiatives of the HEIs, meetings conducted toward the issuance of resolutions regarding DRRM 2.HEI DRR Plan (8 points) – plans that would highlight the existence of DRRM in the curriculum of state universities/colleges and private academic institutions of higher learning 3. Contingency Plan/ Education Continuity Plan (5 points) – this must analyze specific events or emerging situations that might threaten the HEI and establish arrangements in advance to enable timely, effective, and appropriate responses to such events and situations.This plan will also ensure the continuity of education even after an incident 4. Rehabilitation and Recovery Plan (4 points) – restoration plan in case of a disaster “building back better” principle in the plan 5 .Information Education Campaign and Advocacy plan (5 points) – IEC and advocacy plan must encompass all hazards present in the HEIs. II. Capability/Capacity: 50 points 1. Human Resources (15 points)– Find out if there are students, faculty staff, utility who are engaged, who have been educated, have attended seminars, or have undergone training and/or knowledgable in DRR and if they have personnel, resource or focal persons appointed for DRR practice. a. Capacity Development or Training Activities (please note that advance training should get whole points while basic training should only be half of the alloted pts.) (3 points) b. Percentage: 75% up – 2 points 50- 74% – 1.5 points 25-49% – 1 point c. Designated – 1 point; Appointed – 2 points d. Personnel Knowledgeable in the preparation of basic disaster report (2 points) e. Personnel who have undergone Rapid Damage Assessment and Needs Analysis Training – 2 points f. Find out the proportion of student population who are actively participating in the National Service Training Program (NSTP) as the NSTP is the collegial/university level of inculcating patriotism and nationalism through Literacy Training Service (LTS) and Civic Welfare Training Service (CWTS) and Reserve Officers’ Training Corps (ROTC) or outreach programs on DRRM - 2 points g. Regular conduct of drills/exercises - 2 points Irregular conduct – 1 point
2. Programs and Activities (10 Points) a. DRRM Training (2 Points) b. Conduct of Risk Assessment & Mapping (2 Points) c. Formulation of DRRM Plan (2 Points) d. DRRM Hub for DRRM Information Sharing (2 Points) e. Integration of DRRM in the General Education Curriculum and/or areas of specialization (2 Points) 3. Other Resources/Structural Resilience – (15 points) – find out if the HEIs have existing equipment specifically allotted and designated for preventing hazards and/or search and rescue equipment after an incident. a. The existence of a DRR office or facilities that specifically cater to hazards that are faced by the HEIs should also be considered. (3 Points) b. It is also important to take note if they have budget for DRR training of personnel. (3 Points) c. Find out if the design of existing infrastructure made use of existing hazard/risk maps and are accessible for PWDs, are the same considered in future plans/designs? Existing infra are encouraged to be periodically assessed by engineers to determine its integrity to withstand hazards. Construction and maintenance must be compliant to the National building code. (3 Points) d. HEI should have a Search and Rescue and/or Medical Equipment consistent to the hazard/s specific to the institution. (3 Points) e. Points should also be given to HEIs which have existing IEC materials that are effective and efficient (the HEIs should be able to demonstrate how the materials were used to effect change among materials and behavior of end users) enough which would pertain to the hazards and risks that are faced by the institution i.e. prone to flooding, the institution being near to fault lines, the building materials are made of materials that could easily catch fire. (3 Points) f. Consider also the conduct of research and the documentation of best practices on DRR-CCA. (3 Points) Note: Being a new category to the GK, not all HEIs which are to compete for the KALASAG will experience a major disaster during the year that their achievements are to be reviewed. Hence, two options are provided to come up with an objective criteria for disaster response. One option is to review the demonstrated capability of the HEIs with no disaster response operations and the other is to review the
demonstrated capacity of those HEIs with disaster response operations. 4. Demonstrated Capability/Risk Assessment and Vulnerability (10 points) – The validator should determine whether the HEI has an existing or non-existing capability/risk assessment in disaster response operations. If the HEI has demonstrated capability/risk assessment and vulnerability in disaster response then proceed to the checklist (with disaster response) and if not rate the HEI under the (without disaster response operations). a. The validator should also check for the availability of the following maps as risk assessment tools: (2 points) i. Multi-hazard maps – maps that highlight areas that are affected or vulnerable of a particular hazard. Depending on the information contained therein, it can also be considered a hazard susceptibility map. The availability of these maps also depends on what hazards the HEI is vulnerable or exposed to. Maps can either be scientifically generated or drawn from the institutions’ experience of hazards. Scale (for available scientifically generated maps) must be appropriate for the area coverage of the HEI. ii. Vulnerability Maps – a thematic layer which provides a spatial display of vulnerable elements (especially critical infrastructure, facilities, etc.) and their attributes that are exposed to hazards. iii. Capacity/resource maps – a thematic layer that shows the distribution of resources that can be used or mobilized in the event of a disaster. It also indicates the current coping capacity to respond to the requirements of disaster management. iv. Risk map is a combination of all these thematic layers. It is an important tool to guide decision makers in prioritizing the interventions that will be introduced to reduce the identified disaster risks. v. Additional points can be granted to HEIs whose multihazards are shown using Gegraphical Information System (GIS). HEIs with GIS capability are often times able to develop a risk map using the above mentioned maps as layers. In which case, they are deemed to be at a more advanced stage of determining their respective disaster risks provided that they are properly supported by technical experts or experts from mandated agencies.
b. c.
d. e.
f.
vi. According to IRR of RA 10121, hazard maps and contingency plans should be prominently displayed and information for the same should be disseminated to the public. vii. Functionality: Are the maps understood and being used accordingly by the HEI for proper information dissemination and prevention, preparedness of all in the eventuality of a disaster? (probing question) The validator needs check for the availability of database on elements at risk. (2 points) Presence of Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs)/ Manuals for specific hazards in the HEI (2 points) (absence = 0 point) Availability of timely, accurate and reliable response (2 points), Non-availability of response (0 point) Identification of evacuation/relief distribution points/centers (1 point); Absence of evacuation/relief distribution points/centers (0 point) Determination of clinics and hospitals to address the casualties (1 point)
Demonstrated Capacity (with disaster response operations) – For HEIs which are found out to have a demonstrated capacity in disaster operations, ten (10) points are also allotted. a. availability of site maps (2 points) b. database on elements at risk (2 points) c. The validator should note the existence of a reporting system or scheme in the eventuality of a disaster and if this is activated. Also, points should be allotted to the HEI which have demonstrated an active and working report system/mechanism when disasters ensue.(2 points) d. The HEI should also ensure issuance of public advisories to students/faculty before a disaster (2 points) e. The HEI should give or extend support to faculty/staff and students in terms of emergency financial assistance, waiver of tuition and fees, grants-in-aid (2 points). f. It is also important to take note of the existence of coordination with relevant external organizations, institutions, stakeholders that cater to DRR be it in the case of preparation, rescue, rehabilitation, financing, etc. (2 points). g. Take into consideration the existence of the NSRC/NSTP in the institution and the active participation of students/faculty (2 points).
III. Emergency Preparedness and Response: 15 points 1. Early warning systems should have been established and functional against identified (based on risk assessment) disaster risks such as floods, earthquakes, etc. The system should cover all areas at risk. An effectively managed community-based or people-centered EWS is an advantage. The EWS (per hazard) should be functional and disseminated to all including students/personnel with disability. If there is an ordinance supporting this can be an added point. Best practices can be further documented. IV. Partners (Stakeholder Agreement): 15 points a. Programs supported by other partners aside from those regular members of the council (refer to RA 10121). MOU or MOA are preferred as proof that programs can be sustained. b. Resource mobilization in terms of value added service, donations, volunteerism, pledges from Corporate Social Responsibility from the business or private sector and other proactive means of mobilizing resources for disaster preparedness and response. c. Alliances with private organizations and other institutions. MOU or MOA are preferred as proof that DRR programs can be sustained and implemented. Additional points can be given to inter local collaboration. LGUs among themselves enter into collaborative partnerships that allow for sharing and coordinating in the benefits and costs of delivery of public services and goods as well as inter jurisdictional activities, projects, programs, and plans.
