Disaster Debris Management

 

 

Upon the declaration of an emergency by LDEQ, local governments and state agencies may "activate" a pre-approved emergency debris site by doing the following:

  • The governmental body shall notify LDEQ Headquarters at (225) 364-7901 that the site is being activated.  This verbal notification shall occur as soon as practicable depending on communication capability.  If LDEQ Headquarters does not have communication capability, please call your local LDEQ Regional Office.
  • Submit the Written Notification of Activation within five (5) days.
  • Once the emergency debris site has been activated submit Weekly Debris Management Reports (WDMRs) for vegetative debris and construction and demolition debris (C&D).

Once the emergency declaration has ended or the site has completed all debris activities, the site shall be deactivated by:

  • Contacting your regional office for a deactivation site inspection. You will need to submit a Written Request for Deactivation
  • Once headquarters receives the deactivation inspection report from the regional office and all WDMRs, a deactivation letter will be sent. The site will be required to reactivate should another emergency occur.
