IV. Activation, Deactivation and Non-activation of Contingency Plan

The Malanang Integrated School contingency measures for COVID-19 are

aligned with the 2019 NDRRMC Harmonized National Contingency Plan (HNCP) for

coordination horizontally, DepEd with other NDRRMC agencies, and vertically, DepEd

 The activation of Malanang Integrated School Contingency Plan for COVID-19 is
aligned with the activation of the Harmonized National Contingency Plan. This

The COVID-19 local transmission will trigger the activation of this contingency
plan. Once the contingency is activated, the primary indicators for the deployment of
the assisting local government unit including MDRRMO to affected schools are based
on the functionality of the existing Emergency Operating Center (EOCs) of the
MDRRMO. The DepEd Region X, the DepEd Division Office of Misamis Oriental, the
office of the Public Schools District Supervisor shall coordinate for the deployment and
mobilization of the resources. Suspension of classes will be announced.

All assisting MDRRMO will operate until such time that the affected school are
able to recover and eventually take charge. Hence, the trigger of de-activation of the
plan will be based on the recommendation of the Rural Health Unit (RHU). Specifically,
the RHU will assess if the local transmission is contained. The recommendation will be
escalated to the Division Office up to the National Office for further decision.

the event that the plan is not activated, the response mechanisms detailed in
this plan will still be relevant for any occurring local transmission.
