Ramsey County │ Annex E: Recovery 13 PDAs are generally conducted by personnel in each impacted jurisdiction. 3.5.5 DEBRIS MANAGEMENT The Ramsey County Debris Management Appendix provides operational guidance for debris management operations in the county, including: • Agencies used for debris removal • Debris collection and sorting • Priority transportation route clearance • Private property debris disposal • Disposal of debris containing hazardous materials • Carcass disposal • Potential health risk assessment • Possible locations or facilities used for temporary debris storage • Possible locations or facilities used for final debris disposition • Contractor management 3.5.6 LONG-TERM RECOVERY Long-term disaster recovery operations involve ongoing recovery projects moving towards self- sufficiency, sustainability, and resilience. These operations generally span months and potentially years after a disaster; operations in this phase may involve the completion of a redevelopment and revitalization strategy and scope of work for the impacted communities. It is likely that in this phase, the DRM will take control of the recovery effort and Ramsey County will return to normal operations, serving as a partner and liaison in long-term recovery. Additionally, long-term disaster recovery operations may involve activities such as rebuilding or relocating damaged or destroyed resources and helping ensure future community resilience (e.g., through mitigation projects, community development strategies, etc.). Other focus areas of the long- term recovery phase include but are not limited to: • Developing permanent housing solutions for displaced residents. • Reestablishing and creating resilient health care facilities. • Implementing mitigation projects, strategies, and funding. • Coordinating with Voluntary Organizations Active in Disaster (VOAD) and other nonprofit organizations to support community needs. • Implementing economic revitalization strategies and rebuilding resilient businesses. During long-term recovery, the DRM should: • Facilitate inclusive and participatory methods of community recovery, bringing in partner organizations and public input when feasible.
