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