<br />supervisory, support and reserve personnel, as well as our primary out-of-state and local first response subcontractors
<br />and suppliers on a preliminary "yellow" alert. Our operations staff will review and satisfY our "Task Preparation Lists"
<br />to ensure all necessary supplies, equipment and assets are ready to go. Additionally, we will secure and ready our
<br />Mobile Command Buses, satellite communication systems, and other computer and communications equipment for
<br />deployment.
<br />
<br />Upon official alert and notification by the City of an imminent threat (and likely strike), we will amplifY our monitoring
<br />and readiness actions. Our operations staff will review the contractual scope of work and any established planning
<br />elements that had been derived during the pre-planning and preparation stage. We will put our management team,
<br />support personnel, reserve staff and primary and specialty subcontractors on "standby" alert. Select management
<br />personnel and our first responder subs will be deployed to the pre-designated "rally-points", pending further instruction.
<br />Ash Britt's Sr. Project Manager will stay in regular contact with the COM; he will be accessible on a 24 hour basis. We
<br />may deploy one or more Project Managers and Area/Logistics Managers to the region (or in the vicinity) pre-strike to
<br />ensure we have support on the ground at the impact site immediately following the disaster. We will reserve (and may
<br />deploy at safe distance) our company aircraft so to assist the City with their rapid needs and immediate needs damage
<br />assessment.
<br />
<br />Phase 4 - Strike, Mobilization, Assessment & Clearance
<br />
<br />Following the impact of a debris-generating disaster, AshBritt will immediately deploy management to engage with the
<br />City and other relevant emergency officials (some senior management could already be on site). Preliminary courses of
<br />action and coordination will be addressed at this time. Upon an official Notice to Proceed by City, all Ash Britt
<br />personnel, partners, resources and assets will be put on "green" alert. This will act as the cue to proceed with our pre-
<br />established response and mobilization plan. Many of the critical actions here will proceed concurrently. The balance of
<br />our key management personnel will arrive in the region. We will implement our Communications Plan as appropriate.
<br />Our Mobile Command Buses will be sent to the area. We will deploy our company aircraft and vehicles to assist City
<br />with their initial damage assessment. We will also assist with the vital public information campaign.
<br />
<br />As part of this assessment, we will review pre-designated staging areas and temporary debris storage sites for continued
<br />viability. As staging areas and debris sites are assessed and accepted, we will instruct our primary first responder
<br />subcontractors to deploy to the areas for certification. Additional support and reserve staff will be ordered to begin
<br />deployment (as needed). Subcontractors and personnel will be checked-in and put through an orientation. The AshBritt
<br />Sr. Project Manger and Project Manger(s) (PM) will coordinate with the COM regarding emergency routes, federal aid
<br />roads, and geographic area sectoring, as well as other special logistical aspects. As required, we will begin mobilizing
<br />all the necessary resources to assist with Emergency Debris Clearance (if required). Debris removal priorities are
<br />generally established during this phase.
<br />
<br />During our continued assessment, AshBritt field supervisors and ground crews, if dispatched, will conduct a "Go-Safe"
<br />survey of the affected areas to ensure safe passage and working conditions for the immediate "push" and upcoming
<br />right-of-way (ROW) mission. Emphasis on safety during this phase is critical, as there may be downed electrical lines
<br />and other hazardous materials released. As there will be many stakeholders involved during this response phase,
<br />AshBritt will maintain a strong commitment to coordination, and our personnel and forces will not interfere with the
<br />vital recovery efforts of other organizations and agencies. In assisting with Emergency Road Clearance, as coordinated
<br />with the COM, our ground crews will systematically cut, toss and clear debris from vital travel lanes and emergency
<br />facilities (note: this function will be completed upon execution of a Time and Materials Contract with the City).
<br />Requisite traffic safety control methods and devices will be employed throughout this phase. All pertinent safety
<br />equipment will be supplied and required of ground crews and field personnel. We will properly and thoroughly
<br />document all activities for cost reimbursement during this phase (and all applicable phases). We will supply the City
<br />regular progress reports.
<br />
<br />As the initial damage assessment and emergency push are underway, AshBritt's debris site managers and supervisory
<br />personnel will ensure that the accepted debris sites are prepared according to contractual requirements, including
<br />procurement of all necessary permits. All construction, environmental, safety and logistical factors will be addressed.
<br />As these become ready, initial loads of debris may be delivered. Although, debris is not generally collected during the
<br />emergency push phase of the response, sometimes it is necessary to collect and haul debris to preclude an encumbrance
<br />to the clearance mission. At this time public drop sites may also be established with and without our assistance. Any
<br />special emergency response services, such as emergency ice, water, power generation, fuel, temporary shelter, hygiene,
<br />food, etc. will be coordinated and activated as needed at this time. These services, if needed, will be vital to an efficient
<br />
