Environmental Impact Assessment and Recovery Planning After the 2010 Chile Earthquake

The presentation discusses the Rapid Environmental Impact Assessment (REA) process conducted by a team of Chileans post the 2010 earthquake. It emphasizes the incorporation of assessment results into post-disaster recovery planning to address key issues such as disaster debris management, transitional shelter, sewage management, water supplies, geophysical changes, sustainable resource use, and coordination for environmental-related issues.

4. Rapid Environmental Impact Assessment Standard REA process (http://www.preventionweb.net/english/pro fessional/publications/v.php?id=8267) May/June 2010 Team of Chileans from WWF Chile, national government and Antofagasta Minerals 2 advisors from WWF/US Site visits and interviews with survivors, government officials, local organizations 10iv14 IAIA Vina del Mar 4

5. Disaster Debris Management : need for good practice management Transitional Shelter: fire hazard, run-off and local flooding , fuel wood access, improved waste water management Sewage Management: repair damaged facilities, conduct a seismic assessment facilities elsewhere and improve sewage management as part of recovery efforts, Water Supplies: Assess damage to water supplies and define risk reduction options Geophysical Changes: Remap marine resources, beaches, harbors and river outlets Access to Land for Housing: Consider mitigation measures where hazardous locations are used for re-housing Sustainable Natural Resource Use for Reconstruction: Assess overall environmental impacts of recovery and reconstruction. Environmental Review: Special environmental impact review procedure for recovery efforts to identify positive and negative trade-offs of recovery plans Coordination: Improved coordination of environment- related issues Results 10iv14 IAIA Vina del Mar 5
