Combination of people, policies, procedures, plans, and reviews to help address environmental issues. comprehensive, systematic, planned and documented. Key elements of EMS:  Define roles and responsibilities.  Identify and prioritize environmental impacts.  Set measurable objectives and targets.  Verify and establish operational controls.  Monitor and measure activities and progress.  Continual improvement as part of a review (feedback) cycle.

Aspect (Cause): elements of an organizations activities, products, or services which can interact with the environment.  Ex: air emissions, water discharges, use of raw materials, energy use, use of natural resources, use of volatile organic compounds. Impact (Effect): Any change to the environment whether adverse or beneficial, wholly or partially resulting from an organizations activities, products, or services.  Ex: depletion of natural resources, air pollution, hazardous waste generation, soil and water contamination.

DISASTER MANAGEMENT

WHAT IS A DISASTER
A disaster is a natural or manmade event which results in widespread human loss, loss of livelihood, property and life.
Components of DM:  Preparedness  Response  Recovery  Prevention

DISASTER PREPAREDNESS
It involves measures to ensure that communities and services are capable of coping with the effect of disaster. Ex:
1. 2. 3. 4. Community awareness and education Proper warning system Mutual aid arrangement Mock drill, training practice

DISASTER RESPONSE
It involves measures taken in anticipation of, during and immediately after a disaster to ensure that the effects are minimized. Ex:
Implementing the disaster management plan 2. Setting up medical camps and mobilizing resources 3. Providing adequate shelter and sanitary facilities 4. Development of search and rescue team 1.

DISASTER RECOVERY
It involves measures, which support emergency affected areas in reconstruction of the physical infrastructure and restoration of economic and emotional well being. Ex:
1. Counseling program for those who lost the near ones 2. Restoring services like roads, communication link 3. Providing financial support employment 4. Reconstructing damaged buildings

PREVENTION AND MITIGATION

It involves measures to eliminate or reduce the incidence of severity of disasters. Ex: 1. Preventing habitation in risk zones 2. Disaster resistant buildings
