To make things easy for workers, everything should be separated into piles.
KERR COUNTY, Texas — After weeks of rescuing flood victims and searching for the missing, communities along the Guadalupe River are finally shifting from emergency response to recovery.
The flooding devastated parts of the Hill Country, and now, residents are starting the difficult work of clearing debris and beginning the long cleanup ahead.
Kerr County says its working with the state to start debris removal this week.
To make things easy for workers, everything should be separated into piles.
Electronics, large appliances, hazardous waste, trees, and construction material need to each be in separate piles.
They ask you to leave piles in the right of way for pickup, they stress not to block the road.
For large items like vehicles that washed up on your properties, you can wait for regular debris removal, but you have to grant collectors right of way entry to haul the vehicles away.
If you live in a private gated community, FEMA won’t be able to provide support.
Commercial property owners are encouraged to call their insurance companies.
For anyone who wants to burn debris like trees, logs, branches, Kerr County will announce a plan on how to properly do it later this week.
