Cities of Dublin and Pleasanton | Disaster Debris Management Plan | 2022 <br />50 <br /> <br />competing priorities beyond debris operations. The Incident Commander is responsible for <br />managing these priorities and determining the response and recovery objectives. Debris <br />management will be conducted as directed by the Incident Commander. <br /> <br />Debris operations for a WMD/terrorism incident will be much different than disaster debris <br />management for a natural disaster. Law enforcement agencies will have a much larger role in debris <br />operations from a WMD/terrorism incident. Debris is considered evidence until the lead law <br />enforcement agency has declared it clear of evidentiary possibilities. As such, debris must be <br />securely handled, monitored, transported, and processed. <br /> <br />Securing Debris as Evidence <br />Typically, local law enforcement agency responsibilities will include establishing and securing a <br />perimeter, controlling access to the site, escorting transported debris and assisting in the collection, <br />preservation, and documentation of evidence. The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) may <br />engage the services of internal response assets to assist in evidence collection and management <br />including laboratory analysis of evidence collected from the debris. <br /> <br />Managing the Integrity of the Crime Scene <br />Initial site security is initiated by the local response. A perimeter is established in the course of <br />protecting the public and giving adequate space for response workers, equipment, and vehicles. <br />This original perimeter will be maintained or possibly expanded by local law enforcement with regard <br />to protecting the outer limits of the crime scene. Planning must begin early to strengthen this <br />perimeter with physically durable materials such as chain link or other fencing. <br /> <br />Perimeter Establishment and Enforcement <br />For a crime scene of this magnitude, an inner and outer perimeter must be established and secured <br />by local law enforcement agencies. Some initial sites may have adequate space to allow for <br />evidence (debris) processing sites within the inner perimeter. In most cases, this is not possible, <br />and arrangements must be made to transport evidence (debris) to an off-site location for processing. <br />In this event, both inner and outer perimeters must also be established for any remote work sites <br />associated with evidence processing and recovery. <br /> <br />Inner Perimeter Security Requirements: <br /> <br /> Identify a Site Safety Officer on-scene <br /> Develop a site-specific HASP <br /> Ensure all responders, including debris management personnel, are wearing appropriate <br />PPE at all times <br /> Establish a control point for logging name, date, time of entry, and vehicle <br /> Establish an accountability system for inner perimeter responder safety <br /> <br />Site Access and Credentialing: <br /> <br /> Establish appropriate resources to provide for on-scene credentialing for all personnel <br /> Establish a credentialing point outside of the outer perimeter <br /> Ensure debris personnel have appropriate badging and credentials prior to arrival at the
