Response & Mobilization Overview o Disaster Respollse Plall AshBritt generally plans for two types of disasters. The first type is the predictable--or somewhat predictable-threat. With these there is advanced warning and the ability to monitor and track the situation prior to the event. These include hurricanes, tropical storms, floods and ice storms. The second type is the completely unpredictable threat. These comprise tornadoes, earthquakes, tsunamis, other natural events and man-made disasters. Our response to disasters post-event is typically uniform and consistent, as we follow established guidelines and standard operating procedures. Logistical circumstances often vary following major events, so specific actions are sometimes altered and adapted to meet the circumstance. The guiding principles of response management, however, generally remain the same. For predictable events, we are afforded the valuable opportunity to pre-plan and prepare for a more rapid, coordinated and efficient mobilization. We are able to get the proverbial "ball rolling" and alert, activate, prepare and ready for deployment our management team, staff, reserve staff, consultants, subcontractors and suppliers. A number of important action steps are considered during the pre-event pre-planning phase. The pre-planning phase includes, but is not limited to, the following steps: Pre-Event Planning Summary I. An AshBritt Principal will function as the Senior Operations Manager (SaM), the primary liaison with the City and the project's principal leader. 72 hours prior to an imminent, active tracking storm event the SaM will contact the City Debris Manger (CDM) to address these and other issues: o · Standby personnel, reserves in the region. · Pre-assigned equipment in the region. · Client base and commitments in the region. Anticipated special needs and other support services. · Confirm landfill and transfer station locations, capacities and availability the region Initial notification of primary "first response" subcontractors and teaming partners committed to AshBritt response missions. · If activated pre-event, the strategic "rally-point" staging of first responders to ensure the rapid deployment post-event, while protecting vital assets from the event. 2. Concurrently, our Disaster Response & Recovery Team (DRRT) will prepare, inventory and outfit the designated Emergency Response Trailer and/or Mobile Command Centers with all necessary equipment and supplies to meet the initial response project demands. These equipment and supplies include: . All office supplies as anticipated. Project forms in sufficient quantities for a major event (both paper and digital). Pre-printed Ash Britt truck certifications. Pre-printed AshBritt load hauling tickets. Copy machine and fax machine (and backups) Laptop computers and printers (as needed). High speed scanners and single scanners. . Satellite dish(s) for internet service, wireless routers, accompanying equipment. Other communications equipment. Generators for temporary power. Short term fuel supply (as needed). Water, MREs and perishables. Sanitation supplies. . . . . 3. The DRRT, key personnel and standby crews are placed on a 24 hour alert. Further details of our pre-event activities are included in our technical Activation Plans included below and our General Template for Initial Mobilization & Response Plan Table following in this section. These plans delineate the major guiding steps of our initial response, including alerting, notifying, coordinating and deploying all involved parties. Post Event Actions Summary o I. Our SaM and Project Manager (PM), as well as other vital management personnel, will mobilize to the affected area within 6 hours of the conclusion of the event, but the SaM or PM will maintain constant communication, as practicable, with the CDM or other designated personnel. Upon arrival, our SaM and/or PM will immediately meet Ac;hBritt, Inc. I Sunny Islec; Beach, FL I RFP No, OS-07-01 32
