EPA produced this animation to show that communities with debris plans and resiliency measures in place are more resilient when natural disasters occur. Resilient communities need fewer resources to rebuild, contain less harmful materials, generate less debris, and recover faster. Communities can act now to reduce the volume of debris that needs to be cleaned up. Even after a disaster, communities can implement resiliency measures to manage debris more sustainably and reduce the volume of waste.
