In a post-conflict urban area there will be an urgent need to make spaces available for productive use. Communities will often accept significant risk levels when the alternative is to remain in displaced persons’ camps. However, there are some important issues that must be addressed and tasks that must be completed before any SHA / CHA can be considered formally released and available for use; these are covered in IMAS 08.30 Post-clearance documentation.
MA organisations must consider the points below in detail when handing over an urban area:
• Post-clearance inspections taking into account differences in threat, ground conditions and quality tolerances;
• Designing, placing and recording permanent markings in relation to adjacent SHAs / CHAs;
• Designing, placing and recording permanent hazard markings and markings of areas not cleared.
