Pre-planning with all stakeholders is a key element in successful long -term recovery following a disaster.

Understanding the potential types of debris that may follow an event is integral to planning for how it may be transported, where it will be stored, and how it will ultimately be removed from the community.

This type of planning is important because it can be time consuming, expensive and may be dangerous to health and the environment.
