Emergency Debris Management can be used to expedite initial debris clearance, assess volume, and monitor the removal of disaster debris accumulated on roads, right-of-ways, and public facilities.
When disaster-related debris presents a threat to public health and safety, a community may act to negate the threat and ensure its economic recovery. In the immediate aftermath of an incident, the speed at which debris can be cleared from roads determines how quickly life safety resources can be mobilized. Before recovery and rebuilding efforts can begin, debris must be efficiently assessed and removed safely. These efforts can be expensive. If debris removal activities are not monitored and proper documentation maintained, federal reimbursement may be delayed. Emergency Debris Management is typically implemented by public works departments, emergency management agencies, and other local government organizations that want to improve the efficiency of their debris management operations and ensure federal guidelines are met.
The Emergency Debris Management solution delivers a set of capabilities that help you expedite initial debris clearance, assess debris removal needs, and monitor debris removal activities.
