Disaster Debris Cleanup and Management Workshops

H-GAC's disaster debris cleanup and management workshops focus on in-depth studies of different topics.

Upcoming Series

The Houston-Galveston Area Council is excited to bring two opportunities this summer to increase the region’s preparedness for managing disaster debris. Attend one or both events.

The first workshop was held on July 7, 2025. More information found below under previous workshops.

Debris Management in Response to Flooding

Topics to be discussed include types of debris, environmental considerations, assessing damage, substantial damage estimates, waterway debris removal, and lessons learned from recent events.

H-GAC's Disaster Debris Management Program began holding workshops annually in 2006 to educate those responsible for managing debris in the aftermath of a disaster. Below is a collection of the presentations given at these workshops.
