Debris Management Planning -Neel-Schaffer's staff of debris management specialists and emergency management planners has the experience to develop and/or review Debris Management Plans (DMP) in accordance with FEMA 325-Public Assistance-Debris Management Guide. We have successfully developed plans for many communities. We pride ourselves in developing a DMP that is a'"living documenf that is taken ofF the shelf and used for annual training purposes, as well as coordination with other planning initiatives such as mitigation, land-use and other community planning efforts. Our team will gather data regarding past debris-generating events in an effort to forecast debris projections for future events. Our approach is to identify the needs of Orange County by listening to your stories of past events, how you handled the recovery process, and what lessons were learned. This valuable data will enable our team to prepare a useful plan for the County to follow if another disaster strikes. Debris Quantity Estimates, Mapping and Zone Development -Through the development/review of a Debris Management Plan (DMP), our staff will provide debris estimates based on existing conditions against scenarios based on Category 1, 3 and 5 hurricane events. In addition, zones will be identified throughout the County and mapped within the DMP for debris removal from County property, rights of way, parks and beaches. This pre-planning activity will allow County officials to prepare for future events and better prepare their staff for responding. Neel-Schaffer, with the assistance of County officials, can develop and implement disaster training exercises. Early Alert also has extensive experience and is available to assist Orange County with emergency planning and training exercises as part of the Neel-Schaffer team. The exercise program wilt be developed in order to take advantage of mandated exercises conducted to meet other state and federal requirements for disaster preparedness. We also have extensive experience in Incident Command System (ICS) and can assist the County in establishing and training of an Incident Management Team. 83 Other Debris Monitoring and Recovery Services - In addition to monitor services outlined above, Neel-Schaffer is experienced and prepared to provide a broad range of emergency management assistance, including planning, damage assessments, pre-disaster assessments, FEMA consulting and;'financial recovery assistance. We have experience in assessinglprocessing property condemnation, structure demolition, damage waiveriprivate property approval, and marine debris assessmentfmonitoring. We have developed unique FEMA projects such as catastrophic disaster, commercial property assistance (based on overall economic recovery) and standing dead tree removal (based on future hazard). Neel- Schaffer is prepared to provide other planning, FEMA consulting,tinancial recovery and situational awareness services as requested by Orange County. We can provide additional experience through Adjusters International and Early Alert as sub-consultants. Adjusters International has extensive financial recovery and PA consulting experience. Preliminary Damage Assessment (Category C thru G) -Neel-Schaffer will provide assistance to the County in identifying eligible damage to public facilities under FEMA Categories C through G. This work can extend into assistance to FEMA PA personnel in writing of PWs and subsequent processing of Category C thru G projects to ensure that all eligible work is considered by FEMA.
