Just about every disaster generates disaster debris that needs to be dealt with. In the latest Disaster Zone podcast, “Disaster Debris Management,” we have a discussion on best practices in dealing with disaster debris to include contracting for its removal and having another contractor monitor the sorting and disposal of that debris.
For more of a description of the podcast, see below:
“Every disaster imaginable produces some form of disaster debris. Disasters like hurricanes, earthquakes and a tsunami can be mega producers of debris. Even the typical flood has people ripping out carpets and other household items from their homes and piling them on the curb. It becomes government’s job to haul them away. Chris Walker with MERITS provides very practical suggestions for people and agencies to use in dealing with disaster debris. Merit’s solution’s also include verified identity and digital credentialing which are discussed.”
