Product description Brand name and product description
Towards Safer School Construction – A Community-Based Approach provides guidance for school construction projects that have one or more of the following characteristics:
- Local school committees or community leaders contributing to the funding, planning, construction or oversight of school buildings in hazard-prone areas.
- Construction that may enhance existing or planned disaster risk reduction education.
- A local construction sector that does not already include robust hazard-resistant design, construction and oversight practice.
- Combined post-disaster reconstruction and disaster risk reduction.
While the focus of the manual is on schools built through community-based processes, the guidelines may also enhance more traditional school construction processes, such as when government agencies directly build schools or hire contractors to do so
