Revision of Implementation Guidelines for the Disaster-generated Waste Treatment by Sendai City

Abstract

In February 2007, the city of Sendai planned out its Implementation of Guidelines for Disaster-generated Waste Treatment by Sendai City to correspond with the anniversary of the Great East Japan Earthquake that occurred in March 2011. After looking back carefully on the experience, the city now aims to develop practical revisions to the Guidelines for handling disaster debris and its management. This is taking place approximately one year after the start of Fiscal 2012. All amendments were completed by May 2013. This report summarizes the contents of the revisions that have been made to these Guidelines.
