The Role of Field Survey and Interviews Field survey is essential to get an idea of disaster effects onassets and production capacity, as well as• To develop a typology of affected industries• To find out the possible difficulties in replacing specialized or largeequipment and technology (obsolete machinery, delivery times) Field visits to be complemented by meetings with industrialassociations to solicit their assistance in collectinginformation on:• Pre-disaster industry performance• Damage and losses sustained• Financial requirements for recovery/reconstructioncedures for AssessmentIndustrial Sector: Proc7Post-Disaster Sector PerformanceDevelop realistic schedule of repair and replacement ofassets, with special reference to specialized machinery andequipmentEstimate post-disaster performance based on• Calendar of staged recovery of production capacity (supply)• Possible constraints in raw materials and inputs (supply)• Calendar of recovery of demand• Additional demands from disaster reconstructioncedures for AssessmentIndustrial Sector: Proc84
Loss Estimation Production losses depend on the time needed to repair and/orreplace equipment and machinery The loss estimation takes into account:• The pre-disaster production goals for each industrial establishment• The constraints related to potential shortage or non-availability of rawmaterials and essential inputs such as electricity or water• The decrease in demand for industrial products due to overall decline ineconomic activities in the affected area• The possible increase in demand for certain industrial products needed inreconstruction• Higher production costs fromIncreased cost of raw material and inputsPayment of overtime salaries to employeesTemporary need to rent equipment and machineryHigher electricity costscedures for AssessmentIndustrial Sector: Proc9Impact on Macro-variables BOP• Estimate the value of required imports in the sector due to disasterPurchase of raw materials and other inputs Acquisition of construction materials and equipment to repair and replaceassets• Estimate the value of traditional export not realized due to decline inproduction Fiscal Position• Estimate lower tax revenues due to lower industrial production andexports• In the case of Government-owned industries Estimate decline in revenues Estimate increase in operational expenditures Data collection and analysis usually done by a macro-economistcedures for AssessmentIndustrial Sector: Proc105
