Approval of the cooperative agreement for Disaster-Related Debris Management Services with DRC Pacific, Inc. will allow the City of Huntington Beach to support public health and safety of our residents in the event of a significant disaster.
Financial Impact:
The overall costs for services in the event of a disaster are unknown; however, those costs will be allocated to the responsible fund or budget control, depending on the extent of the disaster.
