From Surviving to Thriving -- Hazardous Waste and Disaster Preparedness

Center for Progressive Reform 2018-09-20

Summary:

According to the Houston Chronicle, there were more than 100 releases of hazardous substances into land, air, and water during and after Hurricane Harvey. At least one dozen of the Superfund sites listed in or near Houston were flooded during the storm. To better protect communities, hazardous waste cleanups should be refocused on permanent reduction of toxicity and exposure, not simply containment, and facilities should be required to plan for disasters.
