Vulnerability assessment and risk analysis in primary school buildings

Abstract

As a result of the unfortunate events at the Prečko Primary School in Zagreb, the Ministry of Science, Education and Youth, in the context of increasing security in primary school buildings, adopted the Protocol on Entry and Exit Control in School Institutions, and prescribed the obligation to prepare an Assessment of the Current Situation and Risk Analysis for all school institutions, which schools must prepare together with the founder and local teams within 90 days. However, the aforementioned obligation was given only with certain brief guidelines from the Ministry of the Interior that can be used to prepare a security assessment, while the methodology and method of preparation itself are not prescribed in more detail. Following the above, this paper deals with the issues of the content and form of the assessment in question, the method of collecting and processing the collected data, a snapshot of the current situation, and the calculation and final assessment of the level of threat based on the comprehensive processing and treatment of risks in relation to property, hazards, threats, vulnerabilities and consequences.
