What is APELL?
• APELL stands for Awareness and Preparedness for Emergencies at Local Level
• It was launched in 1988 by UNEP to raise awareness of local communities that live close to industrial activities on how to react if an accident happens.
• It is a multi-stakeholder dialogue tool that establishes adequate coordination and communication in situations where the public might be affected by accidents and disasters.
4
APELL in practice
• Inform the community about the risks they are exposed to
• Educate the community on how to react to accidents/disasters
• Promote the coordination between representatives from the industry, the local level institutions and the public
• Prepare an integrated community preparednessplan – prepare the community for early warnings
