The Department has noted that municipalities with Emergency Debris Management Plans clean up faster and more efficiently after a disaster than those without plans.

The Tool Kit includes:

• The Department’s Emergency Debris Planning Guidance Document
• The Department’s Speed Up Your Cleanup handout and Garbage Collection Delay Fact Sheet
• Guidance on estimating the acreage needed to temporarily stage collected debris
• Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) regarding storing debris in a Temporary Debris Management Area (TDMA)
• Guidance on perimeter controls for stormwater management
• A request form for obtaining a pre-approval for TDMAs

The information on this webpage is also available in the Municipal Took Kit but has been separated for ease of access.[/info-box-shortcode][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/3″][info-box-shortcode icon=”far fa-file-pdf” title=”Speed Up Your Cleanup Flyer” buttonlink=”/wp-content/uploads/dshw/cleanup_flyer.pdf” targetlink=”true”]To expedite debris removal after a storm, residents should know what kind of debris to put at the curb and how to separate the debris for collection. Segregating debris by type and properly placing debris at the curb will greatly expedite debris removal. The Department developed New Jersey’s “Speed Up Your Cleanup” handout, which is designed to aid residents in separating the disaster debris for collection.  This flyer is available for counties and municipalities to reproduce and provide to their residents.[/info-box-shortcode][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=”50px”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/4″][vc_empty_space][/vc_column][vc_column width=”3/4″][vc_row_inner equal_height=”yes”][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″][info-box-shortcode title=”County Emergency Debris Management plan (Template, Guidance Handbook and Fact Sheet)” buttonlink=”https://deptest.nj.gov/dshw/edpm/edp/template/”]The purpose of the Emergency Debris Management Plan Template and Information Packet is to provide a guide for the development of an Emergency Debris Management Plan.  The template for creating the Plan is designed to address circumstances wherein the normal capacity of the County to manage debris is exceeded by large scale or localized events including, but not limited to, hurricanes, tropical storms, tornadoes, fires, earthquakes and/or acts of terrorism.  Although geared towards County debris management operations, the template, can also be used by Municipalities to develop their own debris management plan.[/info-box-shortcode][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″][info-box-shortcode title=”Emergency Debris Management” buttonlink=”https://deptest.nj.gov/dshw/edpm/edm/”]While the Emergency Debris Planning webpage has general guidance available for planning for debris generating events, every event is different and the Department develops guidance specific to each event, in addition to the general planning guidance that has been provided. This webpage will have information specific to any future debris generating events and will be where the Department will post any event specific information. Information regarding State debris management contracts is also available on this page.[/info-box-shortcode][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=”50px”][/vc_column][/vc_row]
