Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) 02
Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) 02 : "A policymaking tool that provides information on the environmental impacts of activities. The benefits of an EIA are encouraging the private sector and individuals to consider the impacts of their actions on vulnerability factors; as part of a detailed risk assessment it can provide alternative solutions, and it could be used to reorient disaster impact assessments as planning tools. Limitations of the technique include the current focus on post-event impact assessment and not promoting its use as part of the planning process, although the results can feed into future planning. In addition, there is still some way to go before EIA processes are fully mastered". (UNDAP, Techniques Used in Dstr. Risk Asmt., 2008)
