Journal Article
Awareness and preparedness for emergencies at local level - UNEP's APELL programme
1998
Overview
Awareness and preparedness for emergencies at local level (APELL) is a tool developed by the United Nations Environment Programme's Industry and Environment office (UNEP IE), in conjunction with governments and industry. Its purpose is to minimize the occurrence and harmful effects of technological accidents and emergencies, particularly, though not exclusively, in developing countries. APELL was launched in 1988, following various industrial accidents which had adverse impacts on health and the environment - Bhopal in 1984 and the Sandoz warehouse fire near Basel in 1986, which resulted in extensive contamination of the Rhine, are obvious examples. This paper describes the APELL process and some of the tools which have been developed to implement it, especially the APELL Handbook. Some of the activities of UNEP's APELL program are also described and examples of APELL implementation are given. Finally the future of APELL is considered.
