PreventionPrevention• Integrated solid waste management system in a cityIntegrated solid waste management system in a city

to avoid accumulation of waste and chocking of storm collection and disposal system

• Waste treatment and disposal sites are to be located away from dense neighbourhoods and capacity toaway from dense neighbourhoods and capacity to withstand disasters such as earthquakes, hurricanes, flush floods, etc.

PreparednessPreparedness• As a part of integrated solid waste management system for

a city, prepare for possible disasters based on historicala city, prepare for possible disasters based on historical evidence and projections into future – preparedness for removal and recovery

ISWM in line with:ISWM in line with:• Disasters affect normal waste management system and

create additional huge amounts of debrisg• Removal of debris and management of waste gets high

priority due to its impact on relief operations and public healthhealth

• Special focus on hazardous waste/debris• Coordination with other departments and agencies• Coordination with other departments and agencies

becomes more important• Periodic testing and continuous update of preparedness g p p p

activities to increase the probability of getting it right in case of unfortunate disaster
