o mobilizing personnel, materials, and equipment to or near the City as soon as a disaster event is deemed imminent. Arriving equipment will be directed to a central "rally point" for measurement and safety certification prior to assignment and deployment. Collection crews are deployed, generally within 48 hours, to pre-established zones. The initial damage assessment typically determines the areas with the greatest needs. We prioritize our crew assignments around these needs. We will conduct strategic meetings with City management and all collection crews prior to dispatch. City management is apprised continually of all progress, and any special requests they may have are swiftly and appropriately addressed. Generally, all disaster generated debris on public property and public rights-of-way, including debris placed on rights- of-way by residents, is eligible for collection. Ultimately, however, the City DM and FEMA will determine debris eligibility on the project. Given the typical diverse make-up of a debris stream, vegetative debris is segregated from non-eligible and other debris to the best extent possible at the loading site per debris segregation protocols as presented above. Construction and demolition debris, mixed debris, and other non-hazardous debris is separated further at the disposal site. All debris will be mechanically loaded and reasonably compacted; as expressed, we do not permit hand loading, except under extenuating circumstances, with granted permission from the City DM Debris collection and hauling is the most important aspect of disaster recovery operations, after all immediate public health and safety hazards have been abated. Collection crews are highly visible to the public and the potential for damage to private property is greatest during this phase. It is critical that work is conducted in the most efficient method possible. Following proven operating guidelines and procedures, as delineated above and in Section 6e, ensures that the public receives the best service in the most economical manner. " . Debris Removalfrom Private Property (Right-of-Elltry) Private property debris removal or right-of-entry (ROE) work is periodically authorized by FEMA for reimbursement under certain, special conditions. If a homeowner cannot reasonably achieve the remediation of hazards posing immediate threats to public health and safety, an ROE may be authorized. The process of authorization generally entails the completion of an application by the rightful owner, or authorized agent, of the said property. This application will contain as a matter of course a hold harmless indemnification for all parties involved and a duplication of benefits clause. AshBritt can assist the City with the requests for ROE work, interpretation of the ROE eligibility criteria, ROE rules for the current disaster, and the documentation necessary to authorize work on private property. We have a long history of assisting communities and their residents with this often time cumbersome process. In fact, we are more qualified and intimately familiar with ROEs than any other contractor in our industry, as we were responsible for managing and completing an unprecedented number for our Mississippi recovery mission. The crew composition for ROE work differs from the crew composition for ROW debris collection. Crews generally consist of specialized personnel (chainsaw operators, tree climbers and arborists) and aerial reach equipment (bucket trucks, winches and cranes). Depending on the potential hazard, engineers may also be brought in to mitigate any further damage. Additionally, demolition of entire structures is sometimes necessary. AshBritt is experienced in residential and commercial demolition and has been a member of the National Association of Demolition Contractors since 1996. Below is a table listing some of our isolated demolition experience. Further, as was covered in Section 4, of the over 29,000 ROEs we completed for the Mississippi mission, over 3,000 thousand entailed demolition work for both Transitel and Non Transite containing properties. Importantly, our own and all of our subcontracted demolition crews and employees with exposure to hazardous materials were required to successfully complete the Compliance Solution 40 hour HAZWOPER course, which we sponsored.
