On April 27, 2011, a series of tornadoes struck throughout the southeastern United States, killing over 300 people and scattering an enormous amount of debris throughout cities and the surrounding countryside. In Alabama, the destruction was so widespread that the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) received a Direct Federal Assistance Mission from the Federal Emergency Management Agency to oversee the recovery efforts.
As the Advance Contracting Initiative Contractor to the USACE for the State of Alabama, P&J was mobilized to provide disaster debris management services which included safety management; quality control management; emergency debris clearance; search and rescue support; segregation, loading, hauling, and reduction (burning, grinding, etc.) of debris; recycling; debris management site (DMS) selection, preparation, and management; and final debris disposal. P&J subsequently deployed resources to 24 counties in Alabama (one-third of the entire state) where crews accomplished debris removal and related activities.
