- Major hurricanes account for just over 20% of the tropical storms and hurricanes that strike the US. Major Hurricanes cause 80% of the damage African waves (100 per year) account for 60% of the Atlantic basin tropical storms and nonmajor hurricanes, but 85% of major hurricanes. Almost all major hurricanes formed from African waves begin development in the MDR(Main Development Region – North Atlantic & Carribean Sea between 10N and 20N Virtually all Major storms form in August September October.
- Considerations Methods for debris removal and disposal Removal Force account—Contract-Force Account/Contract Disposal Potential Landfills--Need to know quantity limitations (cubic yards per day) and land fill certifications (capability of accepting certain HAZMAT) Reduction sites Route Clearance 70 hour time and material contract to open roads for emergency vehicles Identify potential contractors in your debris management plan Procurement Methods Federal Bid Laws Emergency procedures Ensure that damages have been identified within 60 days of the kickoff meeting Damages identified after this deadline could be determined ineligible Prolonged identification also prolongs funding Know your state’s funding policy In Alabama, large projects are funded as work is completed. Small projects are funded immediately upon obligation. Know your state’s appeals process Appeals must be submitted with 60 days of the eligibility notification. Have the appropriate personnel involved with the damage assessment process (engineers, subject matter experts, etc.).

- Top Mistakes Final Inspection/IG Audit results in de-obligation due to insufficient documentation Rental costs determined unreasonable due to lack of documentation (obtain quotes from different vendors to determine reasonableness). Damage determined to be ineligible due to lack of maintenance records Upgrades due to codes and standards are requested but no examples of previous code enforcement are demonstrated No notification given to the state in regards to cost overruns (much safer to ask for permission than forgiveness). Change in scope of work without improved project request and approval. Piggy Back contracts are considered “sole source” contracts according to the Federal Bid laws. Damage identified after the 60 day deadline has expired Appeals submitted after the 60 day deadline
- Best Practices Maintenance Records Ensure that maintenance records (roads, bridges, buildings, etc.) are up to date and available for review Deferred maintenance or damage not incurred as a result of a non-declared event is ineligible for PA funding. Get to know your state Public Assistance Staff Familiarize yourself with the processes and requirements of the state in order to streamline the funding and closure process Documentation of work completed Audit proof yourself with appropriate documentation Maintain all documentation (contracts, invoices, time and attendance records, equipment usage records, etc) for a minimum of 3 years after closure for the disaster Contracting Pre-event debris removal contract Familiarize yourself with Federal Bid Laws Reasonable Costs Ensure that costs are not inflated simply due to declaration Ensure you get the “biggest bang for your buck” by getting multiple quotes on materials, rental equipment, etc. Work with your FEMA/State PAC to formulate in place costs for items such as fill dirt, gravel, etc. Ensure that Pre-Event procedures (procurement, standards of work, overtime policies, etc.) match post event procedures Overtime policies written specifically for disaster events are not eligible for reimbursement Upgrades due to codes and standards must: Be adopted by the government prior to the event Must have been enforced during non-disaster times
