TY - Type of reference TI - The difficult disaster waste management: case of Irma hurricane in Saint Martin AU - Hélène Beraud AU - Charlotte Nithart AU - Mathieu Durand AB - Hurricane waste management is a significant post-crisis issue. Based on review of articles on hurricane waste management in several Caribbean and US territories and on a survey a few months after Irma hurricane in the Saint Martin island, this article shows difficulties in the hurricane waste managament (inappropriate location of temporary debris staging; difficulties of sorting and recycling; water pollution; soil pollution; illegal dumping; open burning…). Also, this article highlights some specificities of waste management in island (difficult access to other territories; low diversity of treatment and recovery options). These specificities make particularly difficult to manage hurricane waste.
