QI.FIIH. EInc. <br /> DISASTER RESPONSE DIVISION <br /> management sites and staging locations, TFR can better rapidly mobilize to ensure an <br /> efficient response immediately following the storm. <br /> Debris Management Site Location and Testing <br /> One of the most important factors in rapid mobilization and debris removal is the <br /> identification, certification and preparation of the temporary debris management site. We <br /> cannot begin to remove debris from the rights of way until we have a place to take it. <br /> Therefore, it is critical that site identifications, approvals and preparation be addressed <br /> immediately after the disaster event. <br /> TFR is dedicated in assisting our clients in the selection and qualification of debris <br /> management sites. Identification and selection of appropriate debris sites are vital to the <br /> recovery process. TFR has assisted in locating suitable sites for temporary storage and <br /> reduction of debris for many of our clients. This is performed with careful attention to <br /> Federal and State regulations and requirements. <br /> In past planning sessions, advanced identification of possible temporary sites has been a <br /> priority topic. If potential sites can be identified prior to an event, some of the requirements <br /> to authorize the location for this use can be accomplished in advance of a disaster strike. <br /> Some of these procedures can include researching the historical information to ensure <br /> compliance with the National Historic Preservation Act and soil and water samples being <br /> collected to file with State Environmental Protection Agency. Identifying sites early will <br /> 410 also aid the contractor in preparing a "site plan" to locate the most advantageous layouts and <br /> locations for ingress and degress, taking into consideration probable traffic patterns. <br /> Whenever possible, multiple sites should be identified in various locations of the <br /> municipality/jurisdiction in order to shorten the removal time of taking debris from rights of <br /> way and dumping at the temporary sites. <br /> Priorities of the Client <br /> When requested, TFR will assist in the establishment of emergency routes with a pivotal <br /> focus on immediate need facilities. TFR will work closely with the client to assist in the <br /> clearing of priority routes for certain immediate need facilities, including the client's EOC, <br /> government buildings, hospitals and FEMA Distribution Centers, to employ a rapid 70-hour <br /> "Push" to secure the facility access. Following the establishment of emergency routes, TFR <br /> and client representatives will review maps and designated debris sites for debris collection. <br /> Our goal is to develop a master plan outline that addresses the priorities and requirements of <br /> the client and ensures the efficient allocation of resources to debris-ridden areas while <br /> emphasizing safety to our crews and the community. <br /> Additional Goals of the Preliminary Planning Meetings <br /> • Identify potential disaster threats by examining past disaster/debris issues in similar <br /> jurisdictions <br /> • Introduction of Project Management Team <br /> oRoles and responsibilities of key members of TFR <br /> ® o Roles and responsibilities of key member of the client's debris team <br /> • Review of overall Debris Management Plan of the client <br /> 30 <br />
