Mike Carroll City of Orlando Solid Waste Division Manager
Should You Prepare for Disaster Recovery? • If you are within 200 miles of the Southeast coast (from the Potomac River to Texas) • If you are in a flood prone area • If you are in an area that has had tornados or severe thunderstorms • If you are in an area that has ice storms • If you are near an active fault line • If you have a danger of wildfires • If you have the potential for man-made disaster
Do You Need Help Preparing? • Are you sure you know how big a job you are facing? • Can you clean it all up in less than 2 weeks? • Can you pay for the clean up and disposal without help?
What Kind of Help? • Planning • Training exercises • Debris removal • Monitoring • FEMA reimbursement assistance
Who Can Help? • Other jurisdictions • Disaster recovery contractors • Consulting firms • Your annual contractors • State emergency management offices • Federal Government • FEMA • US Corps of Engineers
Other Jurisdictions • State Departments • DOT, Forestry, etc. • Other Cities/Counties • Were they hit? • Do they have excess capacity • Do you have excess staff to support them?
