Sarasota County Debris Collection Update RE Private Roadways, HOAs, and Manufactured Home Communities
Francesco Abbruzzino, The Uncensored Report, LLC
Sarasota County
With a focus on the hardest impacted areas of the community in the southern portion of Sarasota County, a petition has been submitted by the county to FEMA with a specific request to authorize and accelerate debris collection from within private roadways, HOAs, and manufactured home communities.
FEMA considers industrial parks, golf courses, cemeteries, apartments, condominiums, and manufactured home communities as commercial properties and these types of properties are generally ineligible for debris removal because commercial enterprises are expected to retain insurance that covers debris removal. FEMA may provide an exception for these areas, however FEMA must approve the work prior to the removal of debris.
The county has connected with local, state, and federal representatives to support and lobby for the request to remove debris from private properties as a critical threat to public, life, safety, and economic recovery to the community at large.
Sarasota County’s debris recovery operations team has already begun project planning to determine what resources may be requested if FEMA grants the authorization to proceed. Manufactured home communities will be contacted in advance of a policy decision to expedite the right-of-entry request process if given the authorization to proceed.
