Samoa tsunami rapid Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) recommendations (October 3rd to 7th 2009)
The environment sub-cluster was tasked by the Prime Minister to carry out a rapid environmental impact and needs assessment to be included in the assessment for the Rapid Recovery Cluster. Nearly all coastlines that were affected by the tsunami were visited and systematically assessed with an expert team between October 3rd to 7th 2009 - hence starting four days after the Tsunami itself. Assessments for remaining small sections of coastline without road access had to rely on aerial photographs
