Event Description:
A significant component of responding to and recovering from large-scale or isolated events is the management of wastes and materials resulting from the incident itself or from activities cleaning up after the incident. The quantification, segregation, transportation, staging, storage, and disposal of waste can be an arduous and costly undertaking that is difficult to manage. Waste must be holistically considered with decisions being made regarding remediation throughout the response and recovery timeline. To facilitate planning and the proper management of disaster wastes and materials, EPA developed several waste planning and management tools for chemical, biological, radiological, or nuclear incidents and natural disasters. This suite of tools can assist decision makers with waste management decisions in the pre-planning, mitigation, response, and recovery phases of an incident. This webinar will provide an overview of several EPA tools currently available to support decision making and planning for waste management following a large-scale event. |
