Preferred term

debris management  

Definition

  • Debris management is a critical but understudied phase in disaster response and recovery. Indeed, of the top 10 most expensive disaster recoveries in United States history (measured in terms of federal relief funds expended), six occurred in the last 10 years—and all were debris-inducing events.
