On August 12, 2026, Olea Elementary School conducted a Student-Led Hazard Mapping Activity as part of its efforts to promote disaster preparedness, safety awareness and risk reduction among learners.
The activity involved selected learners who actively participated in identifying and mapping possible hazards within and around the school premises. Spearheaded by our School Head Sir Rolly A. Liquiran and guided by the SELG adviser, the pupils carefully observed areas that could pose risks, such as slippery pathways, possible falling objects, electrical hazards, blocked passageways and other unsafe conditions. They discussed the possible effects of these hazards and identified appropriate safety measures and evacuation routes.
The activity provided the learners with an opportunity to become more aware of their surroundings and understand the importance of being prepared before, during and after emergencies. Through their active participation, the learners developed a stronger sense of responsibility for their own safety and the safety of their fellow students.
The Student-Led Hazard Mapping Activity was successfully conducted through the cooperation of the school administration, teachers and learners. It strengthened the school's commitment in creating a safe and disaster-resilient learning environment. The activity also demonstrated that pupils play an important role in promoting safety and preparedness within the school community.
Overall, the activity was meaningful and productive. It enhanced the learners' knowledge of hazards and encouraged them to take an active role in disaster risk reduction and school safety.
