The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) developed and launched the All-Hazards Waste Management Planning Tool to assist emergency managers and planners for all communities (state, local, Tribal, and territorial), and large industrial and municipal facilities. The tool guides users through the process of creating or updating a comprehensive pre-incident plan for managing materials and wastes generated from manmade and natural disasters, and preparing for plan implementation post-incident.
This tool is intended to encourage communities to begin planning for incident response waste management activities that will comply with federal and other applicable regulations, prior to an incident occurring. More information on the tool can be found on a new webpage here.
