We finally got someone to remove a tree since Hurricane Sally and was wondering if FEMA will be going around again to pick up more debris? We live in the Coral Creek Subdivision.

What an awesome job is being done to collect debris around the Murtle Grove area.
We thank you for helping us get back to normal during these tough times. It is great to know that our local government officials are doing everything they can and listening to
our concerns.

Please put Ciudad Drive on Escambia County Debris Removal schedule. Being (1) street out of City of Pensacola limits it gets forgotten or missed entirely.
Thank You!

I am disabled, my roof was just repaired two weeks ago and the materials were left in my back yard on a concrete slab. I am unable to get the debris to the front yard to be picked up. Is there someone that can help me with this. I am on 100% oxygen support and have COPD, chronic bronchitis and enphazima am on a fixed income and unable to pay anyone. The amount of debri is minimal. Maybe 15-30 mins of work. My son lives in LA and is unable to get her to take care of it like usual. I left his email so you can communicate with him.

Good morning,
I am concerned about the ever growing pile of debris located on the corner of Pine Forest Rd and Pine Forest Dr (2447 Pineforest Dr) The debris is becoming unmanageable. We are a non-profit assisted living but others continue to drop off debris causing a dangerous situation. Please assist. 850-941-5000

Not sure about the first pass “completion” status report. We had one truck come down, just last week, and pick up only some branches (but not the huge pile of non-vegatation) at just one of the residences on our street. The rest of the residences/addresses on our little dead-end road still have their piles out waiting – vegetation/branches AND non-veg – eg. fences, ruined household products from leaks, roofing, etc. I called ECUA and they said that everything non-canned is up to the County Debris removal to pickup. Wanted to let you know that the “first pass” didn’t really happen – only a single vegetation pile at only one residence was picked up. Hoping to see some trucks on our street soon, but we understand the need to be patient — as long as our road isn’t forgotten. Our road is the 5300-5400 block of McGrits Blvd – it’s a narrow, dead-end street off of Gulf Beach Hwy that dead ends into southern side of Treasure Hill Park. We have a particular problem with the piles of debris given our road is very narrow and, in particular, at the very end near the park as we don’t have an actual cul-de-sac so emergency vehicles, ECUA vehicles and such can’t turn around very easily at all — so the large additional piles of debris that remain on our raod (veg and non-veg) are just adding to the problem. We don’t mean to be ungrateful, in fact took a few piles ourselves to the dump/sites and we are thankful for all the teams are doing but really anxious for them to get to our road and pick up the debris. Ughh… #piledupPensacola fearful of this next storm coming this week too.

WOW…A crew is on my street right now. Up about 50 feet in the air over the middle of the street cutting some limbs. I asked them what are yall doing? They said clearing the roadway////I said 50 feet up? They said the limbs could fall on the road. I asked what about the limbs hanging over my powerlines on county right of way…CERTAINLY with this next storm coming you guys will quit cutting limbs on a dead end street and concentrate on powerlines going to homes….NO SIRE WE GOTTA CLEAR THE RADWAY….unreal…..

To keep from placing debris 4 foot from water meter, utilities and the like, I would have to place it in the road!!!! The right of way on both sides of Helms rd as utilities above and below ground.
