DISASTER WASTE MANAGEMENT GUIDELINES

PHASE 3: RECOVERY PHASE


Phase 3 includes implementation of disaster waste management projects designed in Phase 2, and continued monitoring and evaluation of the disaster waste situation. The following main actions should be considered: Develop and implement a communications plan for the key stakeholders to ensure the disaster waste management programme is aligned with community expectations and needs. Procure or repair required waste management plant, machinery and equipment. Train waste management operators if required.

Hand over disaster waste management systems into a normalized and improved solid waste management system. The output of this phase should be having all disaster waste addressed either through disposal, incineration, reuse or recycling.
