Recovery\Debris Removal. Florida. Who has the contracts? Follow the money. October 2022

Returning a community to normal services and operations falls under the 'recovery' phase of emergency management 

• Recovery\planning
• Recovery\power and service restoration
• Recovery\housing\homelessness
• Recovery\public health
• Recovery\transportation services
• Recovery\debris removal

The possibilities can exist.  Communities exploited during times of crisis.  Planned abuse. 

Fault?  All.  Even the community for not getting involved.

Follow the money.

Review your local gov't contracting services for emergency management:

• Planning
• Exercises
• Debris Removal
• ............other services.

GET INVOLVED! 

Get involved before crisis occurs in the planning, exercises, and recovery planning.  Don’t wait until the crisis is at your door.
