Why Plan for Disaster Debris?
EPA Resources• Planning For Natural Disaster Debris
Guidance Document• Disaster Debris Recovery Database• Incident Waste Decision Support Tool (I-
WASTE)
Planning For Natural Disaster Debris Guidance Document
EPA’s recommended pre-incident planning process to help prepare communities for effective disaster debris management
Suggested management options for various natural disaster debris streams
A collection of case studies that highlights how several communities prepared for and managed debris generated by recent natural disasters
Resources to consult in planning for natural disasters
Step 1: Pre-Planning Activities
• Predetermine locations of essential facilities• Provisions in building codes & zoning
Enhance community resiliency
Determine applicable environmental regulations & requirements
• Tools, financial assistance, contractors
Identify available resources
Step 2: Develop the Disaster Debris Management Plan
Debris management plan outline
• I-WASTE Waste Materials Estimator
Forecast types and quantity of debris
• Considerations for recycling debris streams, equipment,outreach factsheets, staging areas
Management options, needs, and strategies

Step 3: Updating the Plan
• Update contact information• Replace landfills for new recovery facilities
Develop a schedule to update
• Verify contracted facilities, staging areas, etc.
Revise contracts
• Incorporate new residential & commercial developments
Update debris stream forecasting
Step 4: Implementation During the Disaster
Utilizing your disaster-specific plan
Exercising your pre-negotiated contract support
Communication
Lessons Learned from Past Disasters: Case
Studies
Disaster Debris Recovery Database (DDRD)
• A directory of facilities that could manage the range of debris following a disaster
• Can be used to determine debris management options
