Here is a link for a free web resource that provides information about asbestos and the dangers of asbestos exposure from Asbestos.com. Debris caused by hurricanes can expose homeowners, emergency workers and volunteers participating in the cleanup process to hazardous materials that can contain asbestos. The amount of debris that piles up after a hurricane is significant and can quickly overwhelm a community and breakdown normally strict guidelines for handling hazardous materials. We have created an Asbestos and Natural Disasters Guide that covers the risks associated with hurricane debris and asbestos:
