This book was released on 2020-01-10 with total page 67 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.
Download or read book After the Tsunami written by and published by UNEP/Earthprint. This book was released on 2005 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.
Download or read book Guidelines for Rapid Environmental Impact Assessment in Disasters written by Charles Kelly and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page 99 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Download or read book Rapid Urban Environmental Assessment Methodology and preliminary findings written by Josef Leitmann and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 1994 with total page 94 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Download or read book Wetland and Stream Rapid Assessments written by John Dorney and published by Academic Press. This book was released on 2018-08-07 with total page 582 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wetland and Stream Rapid Assessments: Development, Validation, and Application describes the scientific and environmental policy background for rapid wetland and stream assessments, how such assessment methods are developed and statistically verified, and how they can be used in environmental decision-making—including wetland and stream permitting. In addition, it provides several case studies of method development and use in various parts of the world. Readers will find guidance on developing and testing such methods, along with examples of how these methods have been used in various programs across North America. Rapid wetland and stream functional assessments are becoming frequently used methods in federal, state and local environmental permitting programs in North America. Many governments are interested in developing new methods or improving existing methods for their own jurisdictions. This book provides an ideal guide to these initiatives. Offers guidance for the use and evaluation of rapid assessments to developers and users of these methods, as well as students of wetland and stream quality Contains contributions from sources who are successful in academia, industry and government, bringing credibility and relevance to the content Includes a statistically-based approach to testing the validity of the rapid method, which is very important to the usefulness and defensibility of assessment methods

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Download or read book Nature in Focus written by Roger Sayre and published by Island Press. This book was released on 1999-12 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rapid Ecological Assessment (REA) is a methodology developed by The Nature Conservancy to provide comprehensive and reliable information about biodiversity resources in situations where time and financial resources are limited. REAs utilize a combination of remote-sensed imagery, reconnaissance overflights, field data collection, and spatial information visualization to generate useful information for conservation planning. Nature in Focus is an in-depth guide to the theory and practice of REAs, offering a detailed approach for assessing biodiversity in a rapid and integrative manner. It provides researchers with the essential tools and techniques they need to conduct an REA, and offers valuable advice about the planning and implementation aspects. The book: presents an overview of the REA methodology and sampling framework reviews all aspects of an REA: planning and management, mapping and spatial information, information management describes surveys of vegetation and fauna presents a generalized description of threat assessments explores the manner in which large amounts of data produced by different REA teams are integrated and synthesized into a cohesive set of management recommendations explains how the REA effort is documented, published, and disseminated offers a detailed REA case studyAlso included is a set of twelve color maps that describe the sequence of mapping activities in the case-study REA, along with other map examples from a range of REAs. In addition to the case study, appendixes offer a full set of REA field forms for sampling, and a model "Scope of Work" that describes the nature of work to be conducted in an REA and outlines the roles and responsibilities of the participating organizations. Nature in Focus presents the collective experience of more than ten years of REA field-testing. Conservation practitioners and biodiversity scientists who are involved with REA initiatives, along with managers, policymakers, and others involved with conservation programs will find the book a useful and nontechnical guide to an essential element of successful conservation.
