NAIROBI: According to the Ministry of Education's school safety guidelines for  disaster and risk reduction, every school should post a blueprint map of the buildings, classrooms, dormitories and hallways.

There should be a telephone tree list including names of employees, pagers, teachers and parents for contacts in case of an emergency. The paramount of all is that fire drills should be carried out as often as possible to boost preparedness.
