These sites operated with such efficiency that FEMA <br /> and the USACE filmed the operation to use in training sessions. <br /> 1 2016 MULTIPLE SEVERE WEATHER EVENTS <br /> The severe weather in March resulted in flooding in all of Louisiana followed by April flooding in Texas. DRC <br /> responded to its standby customers in the City of Houston and Harris County,Texas while simultaneously working <br /> Iin Tangipahoa Parish, Louisiana. In Louisiana, the widespread flooding was mapped and prioritized from the air. <br /> DRC's crews provided immediate relief to impacted residents by removing water-soaked construction and <br /> demolition debris quickly and efficiently. Electronic waste, household hazardous waste and white goods were <br /> Icollected and processed separately. <br /> Tornadoes ravaged Texas and North Carolina in late April and early May. DRC was called upon for debris collection, <br /> I processing and disposal in Smith County, Texas via a TXDOT contract and in New Hanover, N.C. by way of a <br /> "standby"contract. <br /> 1 2016 SNOW STORM JONAS <br /> The days of January 22nd through the 24th 2016 saw a blanket of snow across the Mid -Atlantic States primarily in <br /> areas unaccustomed and ill-prepared to deal with such massive quantities.Many areas experienced an accumulation <br /> 1 in excess of three feet which caused a suspension of municipal services and massive cancellations of business <br /> operations. <br /> I DRC's response team established operations in Washington D.C. on the evening of the 22nd and began mobilising <br /> equipment and manpower in assistance to the Maryland Highway Authority, the Maryland Depai fluent of General <br /> Services, Prince Georges County, Maryland, the City of Baltimore and Loudoun County Virginia. Operations <br /> I continued twenty-four hours per day for ten days which required two operators per piece of equipment and around <br /> the clock management and support personnel.As a result of DRC's quick response,a long-term contract was secured <br /> with one of the tasking jurisdictions. <br /> I2015 LOUISIANA STORM EVEN <br /> Following the April 2015 event,DRC was activated in response to Straight line winds affecting the City/Parish of East <br /> I Baton Rouge. In as little as 30 days, crews had scoured the city and returned it to its pristine state. All of the debris <br /> collected was quickly processed by grinding and ultimately recycled and used as fuel.
