---The Problem------The Problem---
• Existing environmental conditions often exacerbate disasters – Conflict, Deforestation
• Disasters can result in negative environmental impacts
• Relief aid can have positive or negative environmental impactDepends on intervention design...

• Examine the direct and indirect effects of disasters and environment
• Understand potential costs of ignorance of environmental impacts of disaster response
• Discuss “good practices” in designing environmentally-sound disaster responses

Comparison of IEE to REA Comparison of IEE to REA Approach Approach
IEE IEE
• Designed For Development Projects
• Evaluation of potential ENV impacts
• Developed in response to legal mandate, negligent pesticide use (1970s)
• Required for all USAID Projects & FFP EMER > 1 Year
• Sustainability is Priority• Intended to be Comprehensive• Still Often Underutilized
• Designed For Immediate Emergency Response
• Evaluation of potential ENV impacts
• Developed in response to perceived need, NOT legal mandate
• NOT Required by USAID or Other Donors
• Priority: Lives > Welfare > ENV• Timing >>> Perfection• Approach Far Underutilized
REA REA

Utility of REA to IEE??Utility of REA to IEE??
• Use REA to Provide Initial Info for the IEE, like “Screening Exercise”
• Help Prevent Problems in Relief that Development Will Have to Fix
• Use to Help Design More ENV & Risk-Aware Development Projects – Use to Develop Disaster Mitigation Plans for
Development Activities

HIV/AIDS & EconomyHIV/AIDS & Economy
“HIV/AIDS and the Economy is a 2-way relationship. HIV affects the economy
through reduced capacity and diminishing economic returns affects
the distribution of HIV.”
Cohen, 1992, “Special Topics”
![Page 27: Environmental Management of Loud and Silent Disasters Erika J. Clesceri, Ph.D. USAID Food For Peace MEO Workshop for Mainstreaming Environmental Management](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070411/56649ccd5503460f94998522/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
HIV/AIDS & MigrationHIV/AIDS & Migration
“Development projects often are not aware of the strong positive relationship
between substantial population movements and the spread of HIV/AIDS.”
Cohen, 1992 , “Special Topics”
