  3. Debris Removal Eligibility • Eliminate immediate threat to life, public health, or safety • Eliminate immediate threats of significant damage to improved public or private property • Ensure economic recovery of the affected community to the benefit of the community-at-large

  4. Disaster Debris

  5. Issues in Previous Disasters • Improper contracts and unit costs • Insufficient monitoring • No organized response • Poorly documented estimates • Movement of non-disaster debris • Failure to comply with environmental or historical requirements.

  6. Debris Management Plan Development • Coordination is essential with both internal and external partners • Necessary to maintain updates • Minimizes implementation problems • Incorporates local perspectives • Promotes diverse and innovative solutions

  7. Components of a Debris Management Plan • Established debris management structure • Validated assessment of the situation and assumptions • Well-defined debris collection plan • Identified debris management sites • Well-defined procedures for contracted services • Identified process for demolition and debris removal from private property • Established health and safety procedures • Identified Public Information Strategy

  8. Why the Focus? • FEMA encourages States, Tribal, Local Governments, and Private Non Profits to be proactive in their planning process for debris. • Those with a comprehensive Debris Management Plan are: • Better prepared to restore public services. • Better prepared to ensure public health and safety. • Better prepared to receive full level of benefits if there is a federal declaration. • Success depends on the jurisdictions commitment to development, implementation, and evaluation.

  9. Where are we now?

  10. Where are we Now? • July 2010 Survey of the County EMA Directors identified: • Need for tools to assist with planning. • Need for further technical assistance. • Need for technical assistance from EPA on debris site planning. • Need for identifying proper public information strategies.

  11. Where are we Now? • August of 2010 Sample Debris Plan Work Group formed and goals were to: • Provide an update to the 2002 Sample Plan. • Provide better tools, guidance, and planning documents. • Provide documents that could be adaptable based on the local jurisdictions need. • Group consisted of members from : Ohio EMA, Ohio EPA, Fairfield Co. EMA, City of Findlay, and Holmes/Wayne Electric Co-Op

  12. What’s Ahead? • Work Group updated/developed the following tools: • New Sample County Plan with Appendices • New Local Jurisdiction Standard Operating Guidelines (SOG) • Planning Guidance Workbook • Debris Plan Outline • Debris Plan Review Cross Walk • All these tools should be available by mid June 2011 for use!

  13. What’s Ahead? • These tools will assist local officials with developing or updating their plans. • Each county will need to consider how to: • Make the determination as to what best suits their needs • Structure the plan to achieve effective coordination between all jurisdictions. • Set specific criteria for plan implementation in order to receive Public Assistance (PA) reimbursement. • Effectively manage and monitor all debris removal activities.
