::Tc _ •� /I PRE -EVENT PREPERATION Through our years of experience in responding to disaster debris -generating events across the nation, we at CTC have developed and refined a strategy to include both pre -event planning and post -event operations. This strategy is founded on the concept that we, both the agency's staff and the CTC staff, can best do the majority of our critical thinking on a "blue sky day" when time is available to carefully and thoroughly research alternatives to various scenarios. In essence, we can develop a "Project Checklist" to guide us through those first days following the "black sky day." Pre -Event Planning: ➢ Identify and introduce, in person, the CTC Project Team to your staff so that when we are required to work together, we have already established our professional relationship and rapport. ➢ Review with your staff, in detail, the most recent update of the Debris Management Plan to ensure that we understand completely your plan of attack and have those base maps first required in current order. ➢ Ride those roadways listed as having priority to conceptualize the volumes and types of debris that may be encountered during emergency clearance operations. ➢ Review with your staff the identified Temporary Debris Staging and Reduction Sites and the preliminary design established. ➢ Review both your and our Communications Plan to ensure they are compatible and afford interoperability. ➢ Conduct and/or participate in tabletop and functional exercises focused on managing the volumes of documentation required for reimbursement of eligible damage costs. ➢ Participate in all other training and exercises as you may direct. ➢ Conduct on-site classroom training utilizing the FEMA Emergency Management Institute Independent Study Programs for Debris Management, National Incident Management System/Incident Command System (NIMS/ICS), the Public Assistance Program and all updates/new policies and procedures. ➢ Applicants with a FEMA -accepted Debris Management Plan at the time of an event can increase the effectiveness of its debris management operations. Specifically, a Debris Management Plan should improve an Applicant's ability to complete debris removal within the timelines associated with the sliding scale. Applicants may request a one-time, 2% increased Federal cost share incentive. ➢ FEMA's requirements to receive this incentive are that the Applicant must: • Have a FEMA -accepted Debris Management Plan. • Have a pre -qualified debris removal contractor. ➢ Debris Management Plan should include the following: ■ Debris Management Overview ■ Incidents and Assumptions ■ Debris Collection and Removal Plan ■ Debris Removal from Private Property ■ Public Information ■ Health and Safety Requirements ■ Environmental Considerations and other Regulatory Requirements ■ Temporary Debris Management Sites and Disposal Locations Page 35 of 87
