A framework for assessing the resilience of a disaster debris management system

This systemic approach and quantitative analysis enable a decision maker to gain insights into the inter-relationship between critical infrastructure and resources, the effectiveness of temporary debris management sites, and the debris removal performance. Also, a debris management team would have benefits from the framework by being able to (1) understand dynamic behaviors of debris removal operation, (2) evaluate the existing debris management plan, and (3) set up multiple strategies for optimal debris removal operations under different disaster-impact scenarios.
