Introduction
3
It is the aim of the International School Yangon (ISY) to provide safe workplace for
all staff, students, and workers by adopting a planned and systematic approach to
earthquake safety and by providing the resources and knowledge for the successful
implementation of an earthquake safety program. This is of particular importance in
Myanmar as the country rests on one of the world's two main earthquake belts, with
one of its many fault lines, the Sagaing Fault, running 1,000km north to south
through the country's central plain. The Sagaing Fault places major Myanmar cities,
including Mandalay, Bago and Yangon, at risk. Historically, earthquakes in Myanmar
have resulted in only minor damage and relatively few casualties. However, a major
earthquake in Yangon could be potentially devastating due to the high concentration
of people living in poorly constructed buildings.
Most the current buildings on the ISY Campus will withstand a minor earthquake.
However, due to the prevalence of substandard construction techniques in Myanmar
it is likely that a major earthquake can cause significant damage.
This document and plan is intended to be a dynamic document that will be frequently
re-evaluated and updated as campus conditions and structures change. It is the
intent of this document to mitigate the risk associated with an earthquake and protect
lives.
Scope
The contents of this plan apply to all persons who are authorized to carry out
activities on the ISY campus, including of all employees, contractors, students and
visitors.
Definitions
Responsible Officer:
The ISY Director is the Responsible Officer for ISY and for the ISY Earthquake
Preparedness Plan.
Warden:
For purposes of this plan, a Warden is a designated individual who is responsible
for ensuring personnel accountability for a specific area, building, floor, or
classroom.

Background
ISY Campus
The ISY Campus is an approximately four-acre site currently consisting of 4
classroom buildings, an administrative building, several smaller structures, and
kitchen facilities. In addition, associated with the ISY Campus is one adjacent
detached home, designated as the Language House. The center of the ISY Campus
is a soccer pitch.
The potential/risk for earthquake damage on the ISY Campus is assessed as high.
This is due to a number of factors which include the following:
• Location of Yangon along a major fault line
• Substandard construction techniques used in building construction in
Myanmar
• Multi-level classroom buildings
Roles and Responsibilities
ISY Security Office
The ISY Security Office under the direction of the Director of HSSE is responsible for
the drafting, updating, implementing, and monitoring of the ISY Earthquake
Preparedness Plan. In the event of an earthquake, the ISY Security Office will be
responsible for:
• Coordinating the response of the local fire brigade
• Coordinating the response of local law enforcement
• Coordinating and monitoring the evacuation of students, faculty, staff, and
visitors from campus buildings to a designated evacuation point
• Coordinating with the ISY medical unit the establishment of a casualty triage
station
• Coordinating with the US Embassy disaster management team
Teachers and Staff
Teachers are responsible for providing an accurate count of evacuated students and
staff to their designated floor/building warden. Teachers and staff will help ensure
the smooth evacuation of students, staff, and visitors from their respective
classrooms once the earthquake ends
5
Floor/Building Wardens
For buildings A, G, F, and the SAS, each floor will have a designated warden. The
floor warden will be responsible for ensuring the smooth evacuation of students,
staff, and visitors from their area of responsibility. The floor wardens are responsible
for providing an accurate count of evacuated students and staff, to their respective
Principals. Specially, floor wardens for Building A will report to the ISY Elementary
School Principal, floor wardens for Buildings G, F, and the SAS will report to the
Secondary School Principal.
Building B and the Language House will designate a building warden. The building
wardens will be responsible for ensuring the smooth evacuation of students, staff,
and visitors from their area of responsibility. Building wardens for building B and the
Language House will report to the Secondary School Principal.
Elementary and Secondary School Principals
The Elementary School Principal will designate a floor warden for each floor in the
elementary building. The floor warden, in conjunction with teachers and staff of their
respective floors will help facilitate the evacuation of students on their floor and help
ensure accountability. During an evacuation, the Elementary School Principal will
report to the ISY Director.
The Secondary School Principal will designate a floor warden for buildings G, F, and
the SAS. During an evacuation, the Secondary School Principal will report to the
ISY Director.
ISY Medical Unit
During an evacuation, the ISY Medical Unit will establish a casualty triage station on
the soccer pitch of the ISY Campus. The location of the casualty triage station may
vary depending upon the damage to the ISY Campus. The ISY Medical Unit will
coordinate the emergency medical response to the ISY Campus.
ISY Internal Earthquake Preparedness Measures
In the Event of an Earthquake
If you are indoors during an earthquake
Teachers should instruct their students to do the following if indoors during an earthquake:
• DROP to the floor; take COVER by getting under a sturdy table or other piece of furniture; and HOLD ON until the shaking stops.
• If there isn’t a table or desk near you, cover your face and head with your arms and crouch in an inside corner of the building.
6
• Stay away from glass, windows, outside doors and walls, and anything that could fall, such as lighting fixtures or furniture.
• Stay inside until the shaking stops and it is safe to go outside. Do not exit a building/classroom during the shaking.
• Be aware that the electricity may go out or fire alarms may turn on. • Once the shaking stops, immediately evacuate the building/classroom to a
designated evacuation site.
If you are outdoors during an earthquake
Teachers should instruct students to do the following if outdoors during an earthquake:
• Remain outdoors. • Move away from buildings, electrical poles, and utility wires. • Once in the open, stay there until the shaking stops. The greatest danger
exists directly outside buildings, at exits and alongside exterior walls. • Once the shaking stops, immediately move to a designated evacuation site.
If you are trapped under debris
• Do not light a match. • Do not move around or kick up dust. • Cover your mouth with a handkerchief or clothing. • Tap on a pipe, wall, or metal object so rescuers can locate you. Use a whistle
if one is available. Shout only as a last resort. Shouting can cause you to inhale dangerous amounts of dust.
Location of Evacuation Site
ISY Campus
The primary evacuation site for the ISY campus is the soccer pitch in the middle of
the ISY Campus. This area provides sufficient separation from potentially affected
structures. It also provides a central location from where children can be quickly
moved to an alternate site, if necessary. Secondary sites will be determined as
necessary. Potential secondary sites include:
• Petronas Compound
• Australian Club compound
Following an earthquake, the primary evacuation point for the Language House
(28C) is the Language House (28C) parking lot. The alternate evacuation point for
the Language House (28C) is the soccer pitch on the ISY Main Campus.
7
Monitoring, Drills, and Training Drills
The ISY Security Office, in coordination with the ISY Director, and the ISY Elementary and Secondary Principals, will conduct schoolwide earthquake evacuation drills at least twice during the academic year.
The ISY Security Office will conduct internal (Security Only) earthquake drills at least
twice during the academic year.
Monitoring
The ISY Security Office will routinely monitor designated earthquake evacuation routes in order to ensure that they are free of obstructions.
Evacuation Routes
The Emergency Evacuation Route table specifies evacuation routes for all areas of the ISY Campus. The primary evacuation site is the soccer pitch in the center of the ISY Campus. The evacuation routes are identical to the fire evacuation routes.
