每年,世界各地的社区都受到自然灾害的破坏。洪水、飓风、龙卷风、地震、海啸、火山爆发、野火、泥石流和极端天气事件造成死亡、流离失所,并对社会、经济和生态系统造成破坏。根据美国国家海洋和大气管理局(NOAA 2019)下属的国家环境信息中心(National Centers for Environmental Information)的数据,2018年,仅在美国,灾害造成的损失估计就超过910亿美元。世界卫生组织估计,在全球范围内,自然灾害每年造成9万人死亡,并对全球近1.6亿人的健康造成影响(世卫组织2019年)。这些影响没有减缓的迹象,因为不受控制的气候变化预计会增加许多灾害事件的规模和频率。在直接风险过去、新闻报道转向其他事件之后,世界对自然灾害的关注通常开始减弱。但正是在这个时候,一个地区开始面临恢复和重建的挑战,包括处理遗留的碎片和环境破坏的艰巨任务。近年来,这些碎片管理挑战的规模是惊人的。根据美国联邦紧急事务管理局(FEMA 2006)的数据,美国历史上最具灾难性的自然灾害是卡特里娜飓风,造成了超过9900万立方码的碎片,清理和管理费用超过37亿美元。这些废物流不仅增加了财政负担,而且还扩大了由此产生的环境影响的时间和地理范围。在日本2011年Tōhoku地震和海啸之后,超过500万吨的物质被卷进太平洋,其中一些最终在随后的几年里登陆了美国沿海地区(Murray et al. 2018)。
Each year, communities around the world are devastated by natural disasters. Floods, hurricanes, tornadoes, earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanic eruptions, wildfires, mudslides, and extreme weather events are responsible for death, displacement, and devastation to social, economic, and ecological systems. In 2018, the costs of disasters in the USA alone were estimated to exceed $91 Billion, according to the National Centers for Environmental Information, a division of the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA 2019). At a global scale, the World Health Organization estimates that natural disasters are responsible for 90,000 deaths each year and for health impacts to almost 160 million people worldwide (WHO 2019). These effects show no sign of slowing, as unchecked climate change is expected to increase the magnitude and frequency of many disaster events.The world’s attention to a natural disaster usually begins to wane after the immediate risk has passed and news coverage moves on to other events. But it is at this point that a region begins to face the challenges of recovery and rebuilding, including the daunting task of dealing with debris and environmental damage left behind. The magnitude of these debris management challenges in recent years is staggering. According to the US Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA 2006), the single most catastrophic natural disaster in US history was Hurricane Katrina, which resulted in more than 99 million cubic yards of debris that cost more than $3.7 billion to remove and manage. Not only are these waste streams an added financial burden, they also magnify the temporal and geographic scale of resulting environmental impacts. After Japan’s 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami, over five million tonnes of material was swept into the Pacific Ocean, some of which ultimately made landfall in US coastal areas in the years that followed (Murray et al. 2018).
