Public Works as First Responders
Increased recognition of the vital role of PW in response to natural and man-made disasters
PW provides manpower & equipment that allows for around the clock operations
FEMA regulations result in many PW employees become contract administrators providing oversight of private contractors

Ice Storm - January 29, 2002
On January 28th, weather forecasters were predicting the possibility of an extremely heavy ice event.
Recognizing that PW would have the lead in this type of disaster, we called for a meeting with other City departmennts.
Precipitation begins and PW begins by treating the streets.
Several hours into the event the ice accumulation results in significant tree damage and power outages.
PW converts from a street treatment response to dealing with massive amounts of debris in the right-of-way.
![Page 18: PUBLIC WORKS ROLE IN EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT Presented by Bob Hartnett, Deputy Director of Public Works City of Lee’s Summit, MO.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032703/56649d135503460f949e6844/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Ice Storm - January 29, 2002
Sequence Open roadways Remove debris from roadways Remove debris from right-of-way Assist in the removal of debris from private property
The work was complicated by the potential of live downed power lines.
Never ever put your people at risk.

Ice Storm - January 29, 2002
Volume of debris was in excess of the capabilities of the PW dept and a private contractor was hired.
Due to FEMA regulations, many PW employees became contract administrators providing oversight of the private contractor.
In a 6 week period, PW was responsible for the removal and disposal of over 215,000 cubic yards of brush.
