Depending on their nature and severity, disasters can create large volumes of debris and waste. The waste can overwhelm existing solid waste management facilities and impact on other emergency response and recovery activities. If poorly managed, the waste can have significant environmental and public health impacts and can affect the overall recovery process. This paper presents a system overview of disaster waste management based on existing literature. The main literature available to date comprises disaster waste management plans or guidelines and isolated case studies. There is ample discussion on technical management options such as temporary storage sites, recycling, disposal, etc.; however, there is little or no guidance on how these various management options are selected post-disaster. The literature does not specifically address the impact or appropriateness of existing legislation, organisational structures and funding mechanisms on disaster waste management programmes, nor does it satisfactorily cover the social impact of disaster waste management programmes. It is envisaged that the discussion presented in this paper, and the literature gaps identified, will form a basis for future comprehensive and cohesive research on disaster waste management. In turn, research will lead to better preparedness and response to disaster waste management problems.
根据其性质和严重程度，灾害可能会产生大量的碎片和废物。这些废物可能会使现有的固体废物管理设施不堪重负，并影响其他紧急应对和恢复活动。如果管理不善，废物可能会对环境和公共健康造成重大影响，并影响整体恢复过程。本文基于现有文献介绍了灾害废物管理系统概述。迄今为止，主要的文献包括灾害废物管理计划或指南以及孤立的案例研究。有充分的讨论关于技术管理选项，如临时储存场、回收、处置等；然而，对于如何在灾害后选择这些各种管理选项，几乎没有或没有指导。文献并没有专门讨论现有立法、组织结构和供资机制对灾害废物管理方案的影响或适宜性，也没有充分涵盖灾害废物管理方案的社会影响。预计本文提出的讨论和确定的文献差距将为未来灾害废物管理的全面和有凝聚力的研究奠定基础。反过来，研究将导致更好地为灾害废物管理问题做好准备和应对。
