IssueHurricanes Frances and Jeanne struck Palm Beach County within weeks of each other during September 2004, causing extensive property damage. The county's Solid Waste Authority (SWA) needed to manage the debris recovery process.
SolutionWe helped the SWA put its debris management plan into action by assisting with site monitoring, damage claim resolution, reporting and data entry. By the second day after the storm we had established four temporary debris monitoring sites, and within ten days ten debris sites were open. In the weeks that followed we managed a team of more than a hundred workers, including subconsultants, to monitor debris removal and establish and monitor debris management sites.
Benefits
Altogether we monitored the removal and management of 3 million cubic yards of debris. We also provided assistance with applications to the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) for reimbursement of cleanup costs. | | |
