After receiving a <br /> Presidential "Major Disaster Declaration," DRC was activated to provide debris removal services in two of the <br /> most severely impacted counties. <br /> Citrus County was impacted heavily as storm surge waters inundated hundreds of homes, generating more <br /> than a thousand tons of residential flood debris, and tens of thousands of cubic yards of vegetation which DRC <br /> successfully removed and disposed of in less than 30 days. <br /> Leon County, home of Florida's capital city Tallahassee and one of the most severely impacted Counties in the <br /> I state activated DRC's contract in a secondary capacity to augment the level of service being provided by their <br /> primary provider.
