17 AL Department of Conservation & Natural Resources Case Study Debris Management Operations Vegetative debris collected 108, CYD Root ball removal Workforce peak of 30 inspectors averaging Unique Considerations Mapping and GIS Terrain Safety Historical/preservation areas Wildlife Inclement weather Eligibility challenges
18 AL Department of Conservation & Natural Resources Case Study Best practices and lessons learned Safety Proper staffing for the proper programs Proper pre-event plans for safety Proper blazing of trails - entrance signs, tree markings, posts on the way, trail exits Shelters for tourists/employees Documentation Early warning sirens Hazard mitigation for safety Diligently monitor staffing and resources utilized for debris removal operations; eligible costs will be scrutinized Maintain proper documentation of post event volunteer hours Document man hours applied to State t owned and rented areas Verify contractor time estimates which directly affect the monitoring portion of billing Capture pre-event photo documentation of improved areas easiest way to prove that an area was maintained before any event.
19 AL Department of Conservation & Natural Resources Case Study Best practices and lessons learned continued Flexibility FEMA interpretation of guidelines can be quite different from the applicants. Remember, it s the applicants responsibility to understand regulations and drive their recovery. FEMA rotations approved activities may change based on FEMA staff assignments.
