Debris Management Plan for Landfill• Previous events and response activities• Disaster and debris classification• Command structures and responsibilities• Task Force Assignments
• Landfill readiness assessment and resumption of operations• Alternative management site coordination• Debris management communication to communities/customers
• Task Force Readiness Assessment (can I still provide service?)• Task force activation triggers and levels
