Geline Lontoc, BSCE graduate, Asst. Prof. Ma. Brida Lea Diola and Asst. Prof. Mathew Harvey Peralta recently published their paper “Multi-criteria evaluation of suitable locations for temporary disaster waste storage sites: the case of Cavite, Philippines” in the Journal of Material Cycles and Waste Management.
Their paper addresses an important component of disaster waste management – the identification and evaluation of temporary storage site (TSS) locations – by setting a set of criteria established based on the guidelines from UNEP/OCHA using a geographic information system (GIS). The presence of TSS can help minimize the environmental and health threats that can be caused by disaster wastes and will improve disaster response.
