CONTINGENCY PLAN – INFLUENZA VIRUS

I. INTRODUCTION
Influenza causes annual “Amihan” season which affect the respiratory system that all age is
prone in all ages especially to school children, serious complications and hospitalization due to this
disease. Even among otherwise healthy individuals the health and economic consequences of influenza
are substantial. Annual influenza attack rates vary from 10% to 30% adults and 20% to 50% in school
children during the interpandemic year and may approach 70% during the “Amihan” season.
This infectious disease triggers the high attack rates in children would be expected to cause
significant disruption of usual activities at school and at house. Data of this Bantug Elementary School in
these effects of influenza on school-aged children wherein the age of 6 to 12 (Grade 1 to 6) and limited in
kindergarten. The adverse effects of influenza in this population include the discomfort of the illness
increased over-the-counter modification usage and school absenteeism.
Considering the potential for influenza to substantially affect the quality of life of children and their
families, targeting school-aged children for prevention of treatment of influenza may reduce the individual

II. SCHOOL BACKGROUND

Bantug Elementary School is in the western part of about three (3) kilometers away from the district
office of SDO Guimba East Annex. It offers a kindergarten to grade 6 basic education programs with 13
permanent competent and dedicated teachers, and one (1) Muslim teacher. We cater 343 learners, 32 of whom
are Muslims that’s why we are also offering a tutorial Madrasah Education. We are enthusiastic to provide our
young Muslims with appropriate and relevant educational opportunities within the context of Muslim culture,
customs, traditions, and interests through the integration of the Arabic Language and Islamic Values
Education (ALIVE).
This school year, we are utilizing one hundred percent face-to-face modality since the early month of
the opening classes upon the approval of the assessment conducted by the regional office. Safety measures
against the pandemic are still strictly followed. Despite the present situation, we seek the delivery of an
accessible, quality, and responsive education at all levels from kindergarten to grade 6. We should always
ensure the school readiness in the different set up of teaching. Identify the most appropriate teaching-learning
modalities to develop the most essential learning competencies among learners. Provide a transition program
for teacher and parents on the adapted teaching-learning modalities. Ensure a safe and facilitative school
environment. And established harmonious relationships and partnerships with stakeholders in the school.

2
 The school is very accessible of transportation and communication and the school is a Child-Friendly
School where teachers and the School Head harmoniously and religiously implement the DepEd Programs
and Projects with the active cooperation and participation of its stakeholders towards achieving quality
education. The school is offering Kindergarten to Grade Six and Madrasah Education for Muslims. The
teachers are guided by the K-12 Curriculum which offers different learning areas namely: English,
Mathematics, Science, Filipino, and Makabayan. The school also supports the DepEd programs such as
“Every Child a Reader Program”.

III. OBJECTIVES
This is the Contingency Plan of Bantug Elementary School, School Year 2022-2023. This school
organized this, for the purpose of planning for the safety, awareness and information and dissemination of the
Influenza virus in the community that affects the school children that result of absenteeism and poor health of
the said children.
This Contingency Plan aims to:
1. Identify and assess potential risk and hazard due to influenza virus.
2. Ensure that the school, communities, and the individuals must have procedures and protocols for emergency
response, communication, and coordination of resources to mitigate the casualties.
3. Provide a framework for an effective and coordinated responses to the spread-out of the influenza virus and
ensures that response is well organized, timely and efficient.
4. Layout different strategies for the post-disaster recovery on influenza virus and identify the steps to restore
essentials services, for the health recovery of the affected individual.
5. Encourage collaboration and coordination among various stakeholders to cope up in the situation and do the
possible solution on this health issues.
6. Organize the strong communication and public awareness for dissemination of information, educating
communities about the issues that create a culture of safety and resilience within the communities.
7. Gather different data to serve as the basis of making effective planning.
8. Serves as the sustainability action for the development of contingency plan that can adopt in other risk reduction
situations.

IV. INFLUENZA VIRUS: VULNERABLE DISEASE

Among the group of children followed up during the: “Amihan Season” total illness episodes school days missed.
Workdays missed by teacher and subsequently illness among the household members were significantly increased
when INFLUENZA VIRUS circulated in the community.

This should need aid of pediatric health care providers and parents when deciding whether to undergo treatment or to
get school-aged child with vaccine.

This school has a data that the children do not go to school because they are contaminated and affected by the Influenza
Virus.

Fortunately, the School Disaster Risk Reduction Management (SDRRM) committed to implement this plan for the
betterment of the school’s mission to protect children on outmost and ultimate cost. COVID-19 does not discriminate,
but its impact does. As the pandemic exacerbates existing vulnerabilities, inequalities, poverty, and exclusion also
impair efforts to contain the outbreak.

3
There is still considerable uncertainty around the fatality rates of COVID-19 and it varies depending on the quality of
local health care and the availability of test kits to determine the number of people positively suffering with the virus.
In fact, when one considers the rapidly changing numbers of the mortality and transmissibility, the figures quickly get
scary.

Bantug Elementary School has already recorded of person infected from the virus. The SDRRM Team also
has its strong advocacy to disseminate information about the different hazards that could occur and the things
that they should do as COVID-19 strikes anytime. The school puts efforts to capacitate every teacher, staff,
pupils, and its stakeholders for them to be vigilant and functionally literate citizens during the New Normal.
As the DRRM advocate says: Iba ang May Alam! Bida ang Handa!
