Disaster Debris Council
The NRC Disaster Debris Council’s mission is to develop the best practices manual regarding disaster debris management in consultation with those already involved in disaster debris management. The best practices manual is to include types of disaster debris, C&D reuse and recycling, disaster education, disaster planning, zoning statutes, flood zone info, building codes, and disaster lessons learned. Also included are ways to avoid the creation of disaster debris by proper planning, zoning, buyouts, and education, and planning for triage in disasters to allow for reuse, recycling or organics management (e.g., get people and movable assets out of harm’s way, have plans for immediate installation of intake, triage, processing capacity in the event of disaster).

Rapid Response Network Council
The purpose of the NRC Rapid Response Network is to develop and disseminate official responses from the National Recycling Coalition to inaccuracies in published articles, editorials, and “letters to the editor” about the recycling industry. The NRC encourages any of its direct and affiliate members to submit a published article, editorial or “letter to the editor” to the NRC Rapid Response Network for consideration for an official response from the NRC.
Once the submittal has been approved for an NRC official response by the NRC Rapid Response Administrative Team, the approved submittal will be distributed to the NRC Rapid Response Team, selected from a topical indexed spreadsheet, for the composition of the official NRC response. The Rapid Response Team, appointed by the President, is coordinated through the Communications Committee.
