debris (Rubble)
Debris, often referred to as rubble, consists of broken pieces of material that remain after a structure has been damaged or destroyed. This can include fragments of concrete, bricks, wood, and metal. Debris is commonly found at construction sites, following natural disasters like earthquakes or hurricanes, and in areas affected by demolition.
The presence of debris can pose safety hazards and environmental concerns. It can obstruct pathways, create risks for pedestrians, and hinder rescue operations. Proper removal and disposal of debris are essential for restoring affected areas and ensuring public safety, often involving heavy machinery and specialized crews.
