Disaster Debris Disposal

(Disaster Recovery Phase)

Recovering from a disaster is a long, tedious process. The disaster recovery phase is marked by debris removal contractor(s) collection and reduction of storm generated debris from the public right-of-way (ROW) and aftermath of disaster debris disposal. Concurrent to the commencement of ROW debris removal operations, the Community evaluates the need for contract debris removal on private property, parks, and waterways.

The Community will also confirm that the State Highway Department and local highway departments are either under way or in the process of initiating programs that address debris removal on the roads for which they are responsible. By the end of three months all basic services have been restored and many residents and businesses are returning to their pre-storm state of affairs. While special projects may remain active for periods of several months, the bulk of the debris removal from public property is complete.

The Community, debris contractors, and FEMA will schedule a meeting to discuss the completion of all tasks associated with the debris removal process. This meeting should focus on the deadlines and timing for the finalization of all activities in the field. Closeout for the debris contractors is marked by the closeout and approval of remediation work on the DMS. Closeout meetings are held with FEMA, the contractor(s) representatives and the community representatives.
