Disaster debris management and recovery for housing stock in San Francisco, CA

摘要

IN the wake of the next large-scale earthquake in the city of San Francisco, an expected 85,000 households are expected to become uninhabitable and beyond repair, leaving thousands of residents with immediate needs for shelter. Coupled with an overwhelming 6.8 million tons of debris generated, destroyed lifelines and affected livelihoods, recovery planning becomes critical for immediate response and long-term sustainable development of San Francisco[1][2].
