I. Description of the different missions

A. Flash Environmental Assessment tool (FEAT)

1. Description:

The "Flash Environmental Assessment" Tool (FEAT) provides a rapid scan to identify the most acute environmental issues immediately following the occurrence of a natural disaster. FEAT focuses primarily on the acute issues arising from released chemicals; it also provides general indications of the type of impact to be expected from physical impacts such as erosion of fertile soil and salt water intrusion.

Example: Gaza, Lebanon, Kerch Oil spillParticularity: Usually, all the experts are coming together on a mission. All fields of expertise are represented (water, soil, air, biodiversity, forestry, ...). There is a Mission manager, assistants, eventually a photograph, ... There are a priori many sites directly impacted by the natural disaster or the conflict.

II. Post-Conflict Environmental Assessment (PCEA)

A. Description

Post-Conflict Environmental Assessments seek to provide an objective scientific assessment of the environmental situation in a country after a conflict. They aim to inform the general public on environmental risks associated with the conflict, and to provide guidance to local governments on priority issues to be addressed.

Example: Sudan, Rwanda, DRC

Particularity: Usually, Many missions of individual experts (except Rwanda where all the experts spent 2 weeks in the field at the same time). Individual experts manage entirely their mission (navigation, security, backing up files, photos, equipment). Not necessarily direct impacts of conflicts or disasters visible.

Main phases Before Mission Mission (s) After Mission

Timelines:Between start and report: 1-2 years.

IV. Field test for procedures:

A. Objective:

Test and Improve SOP.Prepare the training package that should be delivered to the post conflict experts.Take illustrative photos of SOP that will be used for SOP outputs (web, powerpoint, pdf, …).

B. Program

2 days in the field.Day 1 : test of preliminary SOP. All activities described in the SOP Mission Day will be tested with all equipement and applications developed on mobile office.At the end of Day 1, SOP will be revised based on issues raised during the field test.

Day 2 : test the final SOP.All activities described in the SOP and improved after Day 1 (SOP + tools + softwares + applications) will be tested.During this day, all different phases of SOP will be photographed for illustrative purpose.

C. Equipement

1. In the field:

Car

Electronic Devices: Laptop with Built-in GPS/Softwares/applications on the laptop GPS camera Personal Tracking system Video camera Phone

Sampling kit

2. In the office/operation room:

One PC with internet.Application running: mission tracking system.

D. People involved

Day 1:In the field:

One environment expert (Mike, Mario …): will verify the feasibility and improve SOP proposed. One IT expert (Richard) One Geo-Information expert (Yves) One assistant (Hannoah)

In the operation room: One manager: for the real time “Mission tracking”

Day 2:In the field:

One environment expert (Mike, Mario …) One IT expert (Richard) One Geo-Information expert (Yves) One assistant (Hannoah)
