Cities of Dublin and Pleasanton | Disaster Debris Management Plan | 2022 2 The human, financial, environmental, and political costs associated with insufficient debris management planning can be devastating.  Disaster debris can complicate and delay disaster response activities such as medical care, transportation of victims or relief teams, firefighting, and provision of shelter, food, and water to disaster survivors.  Disaster debris can complicate and delay the short- and long-term recovery of the community and its return to normalcy. 1.3.1 Debris Planning Process The DDMP was developed using guidance outlined in the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Public Assistance Debris Management Guide FEMA-325, July 2007, and Public Assistance Debris Management Plan Workshop Student Handbook Supplement to FEMA P604, September 2009. The Cities initiated the disaster debris planning project by forming the Disaster Debris Planning Team (DDPT) which included a representative from each City and project staff from consulting firm, Integrated Solutions Consulting. Additional City staff and stakeholders such as the City of Livermore, Pleasanton Garbage Service, and Amador Valley Industries were consulted throughout project. The DDPT conducted the following planning meetings to engage stakeholders and gain feedback for the development of the plan: Project Kickoff Meeting Stakeholders attended an initial meeting to gain an understanding of the project, including disaster debris management processes. The group identified key project objectives, discussed the planning process, and reviewed resources available to support plan development.
