Climate Adaption and Mitigation - Demolition or Cleanup

Selected Strategy(ies)Explanatory Text
Selection and design of cleanup considered the site's vulnerabilities to extreme weather events and natural disastersVulnerability describes the degree to which natural, built, and human systems are at risk of exposure to impacts from extreme weather events and natural disasters.
Reduce waste and manage materials sustainablyPractices to reduce water and manage materials sustainably may include minimizing consumption of virgin materials; minimizing waste generation; use of recycled products and local materials; beneficially reusing waste materials (e.g. concrete made with coal combustion products replacing a portion of cement); and segregating and reusing or recycling materials, products, and infrastructure (e.g. soil, construction and demolition debris, buildings).
