Debris Management and Monitoring Tidal Basin deploys a highly qualified team of emergency management experts experienced in debris management and disaster recovery operations. We are operational and ready to assist communities within 24 hours of notification. Assessing and managing debris according to FEMA guidance ensures consistency and compliance, supporting the design of effective debris management plans. Our team leads and assists managing large- scale debris removal operations—putting the safety of affected communities first. Disaster Case Management (DCM) While FEMA provides disaster case management guidelines and support, sometimes states and counties require additional personnel to handle the disaster at hand. The Tidal Basin team understands the urgency for members of a community to return home. We manage the intake process, assist with the tools and requirements to receive support, and follow through to case closeout once individuals are back in their homes. Section 1206/PA Category I Tidal Basin helps state, local, tribal, and territorial governments navigate Section 1206/PA Category I funding, which provides FEMA Public Assistance reimbursement for eligible building code and floodplain management administration and enforcement activities following a presidentially declared disaster. We provide support for pre- and post-disaster planning, FEMA Grants Portal applications and documentation, permitting and inspections, staff augmentation and training, substantial damage assessments, and property owner

appeals—all designed to help maximize eligible reimbursement while maintaining NFIP and building code compliance. Shelter Support Temporary housing is a pressing need as thousands are displaced following a disaster. Many residents are not able to return to home due to damage caused by flooding, debris, or power outages. Available resources may consist of shelters managed by the American Red Cross and other organizations. The intake and tracking process at these shelters can be difficult while community efforts are focused on search and rescue, medical responses, and assessing immediate damages. During this time, coordination of shelter residents and staff is integral so these numbers can be accurately reported to the state. Tidal Basin manages these programs by supporting states with sheltering processes and intake management to lessen the burden of their emergency response staff. Staff Augmentation and Emergency Operations Center (EOC) Support Tidal Basin provides communities with emergency management, emergency planning, Emergency Operations Center (EOC) operations and Emergency Support Functions (ESF) to better support emergency response efforts. We provide experts when and where you need them— sometimes to fill gaps or to relieve current team members. Our services are scalable to provide the appropriate resources throughout the duration of an incident, and we take into consideration the National Incident Management System (NIMS) framework when developing or supporting an EOC.
