Book Description
The handbook is intended to complement training provided by FAO, and will help to guide trained investigators through the process of successfully completing a Rapid Environmental Assessment (REA) of locations thought to be contaminated with pesticides. It is not intended to be a substitute for attending a training event and as a standalone document is insufficient to fully introduce the REA protocol.
Guidelines for Rapid Environmental Impact Assessment in Disasters

Book Description
The Guidelines for Rapid Environmental Impact in Disasters provides a comprehensive description of the REA process together with background information on key tasks needed to complete the assessment. A separate Quick Guide to the REA process is also available. The Quick Guide includes the rating forms and instructions found in the Guidelines but only a minimal amount of additional information on the REA process. A Guidelines-based rapid environmental impact assessment can be conducted as a standalone exercise or as part of, and using information collected during, other standard disaster impact assessments. When done as part of another type of assessment the REA process should not result in any significant increase in workload in the field or during analysis.

Book Description
The earthquake and tsunami of 26 December 2004 devastated coastal communities in 12 countries in the Indian Ocean region, with Aceh Province, Sumatra, Indonesia the hardest hit. This report sets out the findings of the UNEP Asian Tsunami Disaster Task Force, set up to help national environmental authorities in the affected countries with their assessment and response to the environmental impact of the disaster. It summarises the interim findings from ongoing assessments in Indonesia, the Maldives, the Seychelles, Somalia, Sri Lanka, Thailand and Yemen, including evidence of environmental concerns that require immediate action. The short term clean-up programme must be coupled with policy development and strengthened institutions, and the recovery agenda will require the clean-up of contamination hotspots, and rehabilitation of critical livelihoods and ecosystems.

ISBN : 9780821327906
Book Description
Urban Management Program Series Paper 14. A recent evaluation of urban research in developing countries noted that scant data are available on the urban environment, as little research has been done on the topic. This first volume in a two-volume set describes the development of a three-step evaluation process whereby data are collected and analyzed to support the involvement of stakeholders, suggests future directions and improvements, and summarizes results from use of the approach in selected cities. The second of a two- volume set (see below) contains tools that practitioners and researchers can apply directly in the field. See also Volume 2 (ISBN 0-8213-2791-7) Stock No. 12791.

Book Description
Rapid Environmental Assessment (REA) is a methodology that is being implemented in order to close knowledge gaps and to provide useful environmental information in a tactically relevant time frame. REA surveys arc set up for operational needs rather than to give a full scientific picture. Emphasis is on an optimal organizational structure, fast data processing tools and modern data communication channels. Distributed data processing and product generation is complemented by a particular data fusion centre in an Internet-like network. Specific instrumentation for REA is developed under the premise of immediate data availability. New scientific methods will reduce the time spent for data collection. Techniques, concepts and procedures must be tested, trained and developed in REA exercises that may or may not be connected with military exercises. The Rapid Response surveys are described as examples for extensive REA effort prior to naval exercises.
