Cities of Dublin and Pleasanton | Disaster Debris Management Plan | 2022 <br />51 <br /> <br />incident site <br /> Establish secure points of ingress and egress for debris haulers and other vehicles. <br /> <br />Evidence Collection and Preservation: <br /> <br /> Establish a process for chain of command of debris including: <br />- Removal from site <br />- Transport <br />- Arrival at site for processing <br />- Transport to disposal <br />- Arrival at disposal site <br /> Documentation of debris chain of command must include: <br />- Name of equipment <br />- Name of equipment operator <br />- Date, time, and work zone <br /> Debris that is transported should be accompanied by or monitored by a law enforcement <br />officer until it has arrived to a remote secure site <br /> Establish a receiving point to secure large quantities and varying sizes of debris such as an <br />off-site warehouse or storage containers that can be secure by law enforcement <br />continuously <br /> <br />3.5.5 Wildland Fires and Drought <br />The Cities are susceptible to the impacts of severe drought and wildland fires. Prolonged periods of <br />drought can affect water availability and quality and increase fire potential for natural fuels. These <br />affects combined with high winds increase the risk of wildland fire. While fires leave less debris than <br />other types of disasters, they still generate waste including: <br /> <br /> Destroyed homes <br /> Burned cars and other metal objects <br /> Ash and charred wood waste <br /> Hazardous trees <br /> <br />There are strategies contained in the Cities’ LHMPs and General Plan Safety Element to mitigate <br />the impact of drought and wildland fires including: <br /> <br /> Implement xeriscape and public education programs to conserve water <br /> Conduct wildfire training for response and recovery staff. <br /> Develop a wildland urban interface plan <br /> Educate homeowners on the importance of water conservation and the effects of wildfires <br /> Create defensible space around structures through the removal of flammable vegetation <br /> Use non-combustible building envelope assemblies, ignition resistant materials, and proper <br />retrofit techniques of new and existing structures. <br /> Reduce hazardous fuels by vegetation management, vegetation thinning, or reduction of <br />flammable materials to protect life and property beyond defensible space parameters but <br />proximate to at-risk structures
