Disaster Waste Management Guidelines (2022)

The State Emergency Management Plan (SEMP) sets out the state's comprehensive emergency management arrangements.

The SEMP is a series of documents split over 3 parts with accompanying annexes. 

These Disaster Waste Management Guidelines sit under Part 2 of the SEMP. They are an accompaniment to the Disaster Waste Management Capability Plan, which sits under Part 3.

The guidelines provide advice on best-practice disaster waste management during the response and recovery phases of an event in South Australia. The guidelines were developed based on past experience – both local and international – and in consultation with South Australian stakeholders.
