It uses easy to underst and descriptions, rating tables and lists to identify and rank environmental issues and appropriate follow-up actions during a disaster.

The optimum period to undertake an REA is from shortly before a disaster strikes up to 120 days after a disaster begins or for any major stage-change in an emergency situation. The REA can also be used as an environmental impact check list in relief project design and review.
