Also called: Debris Monitor
Tracks every truckload of storm debris hauled away after a disaster so federal money is spent properly.
After hurricanes, debris monitors stand at loading sites and dump sites, measuring and documenting each truck's load with a tablet. It's temporary, outdoor work that pays decently, and contractors hire hundreds after big storms.
Temporary disaster work, often with long hours.
