Debris Management: Initiatives and Strategies for Solid Waste Management after the Disaster Man-made and natural disasters generate a wide variety of debris and removing and managing this debris is a priority from the first to the last days of emergency response. Disaster events can significantly impact a community’s waste management infrastructure many months or years into the future, potentially reducing the planned life expectancy of a landfill, and therefore thwarting recovery and economic growth following disaster. This session will focus on transforming an emergency response waste/debris management strategy into a long-term sustainable materials management strategy by highlighting the use of innovative technologies, methods, and business models that either recycle/reuse the debris, or convert it into power and/or fuels, while contributing to expedient removal of debris.
Financing Community and Economic Recovery Following a Disaster What sources of public and private sector financial resources are available to promote effective community and economic restoration? This session will cover a number of funding options that could be available in case disaster strikes.
Rebuilding Oklahoma City and East Grand Forks This session will explore the responses of Oklahoma City, OK and East Grand Forks, MN as both metro areas recovered from different types of disasters.
