2. WASH Cluster – Emergency Training DW DW3 2 Case Study: Tsunami, Indonesia Source: UNEP “Tsunami Waste Management Plan” Workshops 2005

3. WASH Cluster – Emergency Training DW DW3 3 Tsunami Waste Management, Indonesia Large volumes of tsunami generated wastes Government capacity limited (loss of staff and waste vehicles) All Municipal Solid Waste systems stopped (dumped in street) Gov. contractors undertook initial clearance to recover bodies and improve access to impacted areas Majority of tsunami waste dumped in inappropriate areas – fish ponds, rice paddies, ditches, land close to residential areas

4. WASH Cluster – Emergency Training DW DW3 4 Tsunami Waste Projects Mass salvaging of scrap commenced immediately following disaster with little or no Personal Protective Equipment or vaccinations

5. WASH Cluster – Emergency Training DW DW3 5 Tsunami Waste Projects Small-scale NGO/UN sponsored rubble clearing “cash for work” programmes assisted clearance in coastal areas and provided immediate employment

6. WASH Cluster – Emergency Training DW DW3 6 Concrete & bricks sorted from the tsunami wastes Timber sorted from the tsunami wastes Tsunami Waste Projects Tsunami Waste Recovery Management Programme (TWRMP): aimed to provide means to resume garbage collection & complete tsunami waste clearance

12. WASH Cluster – Emergency Training DW DW3 12 Rebuild capacity/ institutional change in government to ensure the programme is sustainable in the long term Tsunami Waste Projects Banda Aceh New bins for the streets

13. WASH Cluster – Emergency Training DW DW3 13 Summary of Experiences from Tsunami Waste management is a significant environmental & public health issue. waste management is an important recovery phase issue Lack of baseline waste data indicates little or no waste assessment Emergency phase waste clean-up operations can worsen environmental problems and require remedial action Uncontrolled scavenging and inappropriate clean-up exposes workers to health and safety risks Waste management advice and projects are not coordinated and often sector specific The potential value of waste was not realised Lack of Waste Management skills at national and international level Global environmental impacts have been ignored

15. WASH Cluster – Emergency Training DW DW3 15 Following the hostilities:  > 10 million tonnes of rubble  Damage scattered over whole province  Asbestos contamination widespread  Limited resources in Kosovo to perform demolition  Massive reconstruction plans Mobility is Key!
