Emergency sanitation

Emergency sanitation is concerned with keeping places clean and safe during times of crisis when there is not enough time or resources to properly manage sanitation. This can involve things like covering up sewage and waste that might have spilled, collecting and burning garbage quickly, providing handwashing stations and emergency toilets to keep people safe, and making sure there is enough water to use for cleaning and drinking. Keeping a place clean can help to protect people from getting sick, which is very important during times of emergency.
