RedR-IHE's Environmental Health Modules

• Module 1 (EH1) - Environmental Health: Principles & Practice
• Module 2 (EH2) - Sanitation in Emergencies (see below)
• Module 3 (EH3) - Water Supply, Distribution & Treatment in Emergencies (see below)

* The three courses can be undertaken in one go - it will be a very intensive but rewarding 9 days of training. There is a discounted rate if you are attending all three modules at the individual rate - please click here for further information.
* We would strongly recommend that module one (EH1) is undertaken first, as the principles and practice are fundamental to the provision of water and sanitation in an emergency
* Each module is also fully self-contained and can be undertaken individually without any loss of learning.
* EH1 puts the other two modules into context and will allow you to understand why technical interventions are undertaken in an emergency relief situation.
* EH1 covers the topics of programme management and intersector coordination which is key to ensuring a successful intervention.

Module 1 (EH1) - Environmental Health: Principles & Practice: The overall aim of the course is to improve participants' understanding of the principles and practicalities relating water and sanitation to health in humanitarian relief operations. By the end of the course, participants will be able to:

• understand the links between water, sanitation and health
• understand the nature of, and the threats posed by, environmental diseases;
• understand the importance and main elements of hygiene-promotion;
• outline minimum standards for the delivery of relief within the environmental health sector;
• develop a plan for effective implementation of environmental health programmes in disaster relief.

• Humanitarian workers: this course is an ideal introduction to environmental health for humanitarian workers of all disciplines, levels and experience.
• Engineers working in their home countries who want to adapt their skills to relief work.
• Anyone who has already worked in humanitarian relief or is intending to do so, and wants to improve on or learn new environmental health skills.

Organisational rate: £490 GBP
Individual rate: £300 GBP
Both rates include all food, accommodation, training and training materials from the evening of Thursday 6th July to the afternoon of Sunday 9th July.
Discounted rate: £855 if you are attending all three modules at the individual rate

RedR-IHE's Environmental Health Modules

• Module 1 (EH1) - Environmental Health: Principles & Practice (see course description above)
• Module 2 (EH2) - Sanitation in Emergencies
• Module 3 (EH3) - Water Supply, Distribution & Treatment in Emergencies (see course description below)

Module 2 (EH2) - Sanitation in Emergencies: The aim of the course is to enhance the ability of relief workers to prevent or control the spread of disease by environmental sanitation measures, as well as the control of disease vectors (mosquitoes, flies, rats, etc.).

By the end of the course participants will be able to:

• understand key sanitation and vector related diseases which affect displaced populations;
• appreciate the range of possible sanitation and vector-borne disease control measures;
• implement practical measures to prevent or control sanitation-related and vector-borne diseases.

Effective sanitation is essential to provide a healthy and acceptable environment for people to live in when disaster strikes. The course will look at a range of sanitation interventions to reduce people's exposure to disease including the safe disposal of human excreta, refuse and wastewater and the provision of washing facilities. There are dangers in assuming that the control of disease vectors is simply achieved through spraying insecticide and poisoning rats. Many factors including geography, climate, population density, the lapse of time, the presence of water, immunity, insecticide resistance all have a bearing on vector and pest control in emergency situations. The course will provide guidelines and suggest actions that can be taken when faced with the need to control disease vectors.

Everyone working in emergency relief, particularly those involved in environmental health, should be aware of the vital disease-prevention measures that can be taken to maintain and improve the health of people stricken by disaster. This course is an ideal introduction to environmental sanitation and vector control for relief workers of all disciplines. It is also highly recommend for engineers working in their home countries who want to adapt their skills to relief work. It is open to people who have already worked in humanitarian relief or those who are intending to do so.
Experienced relief workers are very welcome and encouraged to share their experience.

Organisational rate: £490 GBP
Individual rate: £300 GBP
Both rates include all food, accommodation, training and training materials from the evening of Thursday 9th July to the afternoon of Sunday 12th July.

RedR-IHE's Environmental Health Modules

• Module 1 (EH1) - Environmental Health: Principles & Practice (see course description above)
• Module 2 (EH2) - Sanitation in Emergencies (see course description above)
• Module 3 (EH3) - Water Supply, Distribution & Treatment in Emergencies

Module 3 (EH3) - Water Suppy, Distribution & Treatment in Emergencies: The overall aim of the course is to develop participants' practical skills in the design and installation of emergency water supplies in humanitarian relief operations.

By the end of the course, participants will be able to:

• design a water supply system for people affected by disaster
• carry out site surveys, including pipeline surveys, using simple hand-held implements
• install the Oxfam emergency water supply system

A safe and adequate water supply is essential for survival in emergency situations and the development of an adequate water supply is often a high priority. In consequence, it is absolutely vital that relief workers have the practical competence to select and install the most appropriate solution matched to the circumstances. This course focuses very much on the practical aspects of developing an emergency water supply. You will have an opportunity to survey and design a pipeline, install a basic pumping station and delivery pipe, erect an Oxfam tank to receive the water, select a treatment system, install a simple distribution system and use Oxfam's emergency water supply packages. The practical exercises will be supervised by experienced RedR-IHE engineers.

The course is suitable for participants from a wide variety of backgrounds intending to work in humanitarian relief. It is also highly recommend for engineers working in their home countries who want to adapt their skills to relief work. It is open to people who have already worked in humanitarian relief or those who are intending to do so.
People with experience in water supply often find courses of this kind useful and are very welcome to take part and share their experiences.
