The Houston-Galveston Area Council recognizes the need for communities to perform efficient and timely cleanup of debris generated by natural disasters.
Publications include materials for communicating with the general public and a report looking at the impact disaster debris can have on the lifespan of landfills.
Education and Outreach
( 6)
H-GAC's videos highlight the proper way residents should handle debris after a disaster. These short videos are available for local governments and organizations to use to help educate residents. Local governments can link to the videos on YouTube or can add their own logos and branding (including screen shots, phone numbers, recorded intros, etc.) and use the videos on their websites, municipal channels, presentations, or other mediums. Companion flyers in English and Spanish are also available and can be modified with a local governments' phone number, logo, etc.
