The Sumedang Regency area experienced three disasters at the beginning of 2024: an earthquake caused by the Sumedang Fault, flooding in Ujungjaya due to prolonged heavy rainfall, and tornadoes in Cimanggung and Jatinangor. These disasters caused significant damage, including a specific type of waste, namely construction debris resulting from the disasters. Managing post-disaster construction waste is a critical aspect of overall disaster management to facilitate recovery efforts. The estimated generation of post-disaster construction waste from the earthquake, flood, and tornadoes is 353 - 1731 tons, 42 – 176 tons, and 5560 - 6457 tons respectively. Thus, the estimated total generation of specific post-disaster construction waste from the three disasters is a maximum of 8364 tons, consisting of concrete, sand, wood, glass, clay, asbestos, gypsum, and ceramics. From the evaluation results of post-disaster construction waste management, Sumedang Regency has sufficiently maximized the evaluated aspects (59%), although funding (38%) and regulations (50%) were identified as areas needing improvement. Meanwhile, the evaluation results show that the suitability of post-disaster construction waste management fairly meets the guidelines stated in the Disaster Waste Management Guidelines by UNEP-OCHA, with some notes for further development. Therefore, recommendations regarding the improvement of aspects and the establishment of procedures will be provided based on best practices and guidelines already implemented internationally, as well as the new Regulation No. 1, 2024 by Minister of Environment and Foresty regarding Handling of Waste Arising from Disasters.
