VI. ESTIMATE OF RECOVERY AND RECONSTRUCTION NEEDS | 147
For the start of the school year in January 2010, it is necessary to have facilities that can serve as replacements
for damaged infrastructure and to make use of facilities that are still being used as shelters.
1)
Objectives
General objective
Facilitate conditions for learning under temporary conditions.
‣ Specific objectives
• Offer alternative facilities for the school population that has lost its own facilities.
• Educational-psychological treatment for students and teachers affected during the
emergency.
• Incorporation of the culture of risk management in curricula.
2)
Programs
• Facility for the operation of school activities under temporary conditions.
• Offer educational-psychological treatment to educational communities during the temporary
phase.
• Incorporation of the culture of risk management in educational facilities.
g) Water and Basic Sanitation
The events associated with the path of Hurricane Ida have caused damages to power plants used to
operate supply systems in two of the most affected regions. Civil Protection has offered water and latrine
services in places where these services have been destroyed. Water supply is not assured in some areas,
and its provision must be guaranteed.
In addition, one of the most important efforts is to prevent the possible development of epidemics,
diarrhea or respiratory illnesses that may arise due to sanitation and hygiene conditions.
Programs
• Training and public information program for use of water and hygiene.
Courses of Action
a) Citizen education strategy for water management, wastewater disposal and solid waste
management.
b) Public information for water and solid waste management.
h) Social Protection
The affected population has been under the effects of stress and psychological-social risks typical of
the post-disaster situation. This has created psychological-emotional needs that require the treatment
and emotional stabilization of the affected population. Psychological-social risk conditions may generate
consequences, such as abuse and violence against children, adolescents and women who are the most
vulnerable groups. It is necessary to offer psychological-social support in a systematic, ongoing manner to
the affected communities, with emphasis on the most vulnerable population groups.
Psychological-social support for the vulnerable population.
Protection of children from abuse, violence, and family separation.
