Disaster Debris Removal

(Disaster Response Phase)

The disaster response phase is the period immediately after the event occurs and a disaster declaration is issued.
For contractual and FEMA reimbursement purposes, the response phase is generally defined as the first 70 contractor working hours of disaster debris removal following a storm. (This time frame is subject to change due to severity of the event and other disaster specific circumstances).

During this phase, the State Highway Department and local highway departments will initiate emergency roadway debris clearing operations. Road clearance priorities are pre-established to ensure access to critical public facilities such as: fire stations, police stations, hospitals, emergency supply centers, shelters, and other critical facilities.
