When a community hires a contractor to haul disaster debris, FEMA Public Assistance reimbursement depends on proving what was hauled: how much, from where, what kind and that it was eligible. Debris monitors are the people who make that record. They work for the community, independent of the hauler, and they watch every load.
Tower monitors sit on elevated platforms at the debris management site, look into each truck and estimate how full it is, then complete the load ticket. Roving monitors drive the collection zones, confirm debris comes from eligible public rights-of-way, document hazardous trees, hangers and stumps, and flag problems before they become ineligible costs. Before any truck hauls, monitors measure and certify its capacity and placard it.
KDT staffs monitors, field supervisors and data managers, with GPS-tagged photos and electronic or paper tickets, and reconciles tickets against hauler invoices. On every job, KDT keeps monitoring independent of the hauler.

Questions, answered.
Does KDT provide FEMA debris monitoring?
Yes. We staff tower monitors, roving monitors, truck certifiers and data managers who document debris removal for FEMA Public Assistance reimbursement.
What does a debris monitor do?
Monitors watch and document every load. Tower monitors estimate each truck's load at the debris site and issue the ticket; roving monitors confirm in the field that the debris is eligible and record hazardous trees and stumps.
Is debris monitoring required for FEMA reimbursement?
FEMA requires documentation that debris work was eligible and that quantities are accurate. Monitoring is the standard way communities produce that record, and missing documentation is a common reason costs get denied.
Can the same company haul and monitor?
It shouldn't. Monitoring needs to be independent from the hauler. We'll do one or the other on a job, never both.
