General guidance

This indicator may be monitored together with the Shelter cluster or livelihoods clusters who support the clearing of roads and private housing as well as the processing of debris. There is no recommended number of sites per location required. The number of sites needed must be ascertained by specialist after estimating the amount of debris that needs removal and processing, and the context of the crisis.

Guidance on phases

Selecting a safe disposal site for debris and rubble is important. This is done together with the local government and environmental experts to ensure that safety standards are adhered to. The approach will vary from context to context. The best solution should be found in the field together with partners.
