Disaster Recovery Planning

(Normal Operations Phase)

Normal Operations is the period of time when the community is not in any serious threat of a disaster event.

GreenCo “Normal Operations” phase is the ideal time for disaster recovery planning to put in place support contracts for the community. Within this time frame, GreenCo creates a strong public works support function to establish pre-positioned solutions/contracts for debris removal, monitoring and debris staging operations, to identify and secure pre-approval for locations to serve as debris staging sites, and lastly to review current local ordinances and bylaws for their potential impact on debris removal operations.

It is also the ideal time for the community to re-evaluate the roles and responsibilities of all emergency preparedness staff.

The purpose of this evaluation is to ensure that all appropriate municipal departments and agencies maintain the capacity to fulfill their obligation in a timely and effective manner should a disaster strike. Evaluation should establish road clearance and debris removal priorities in the event of a disaster. Finally, a review and update (as required) of the Debris Management Plan should occur during this phase.
