If you know of anyone who has lost their job because of Katrina this is a temporary job that could get them through. It's called Hurricane Debris Monitor.
FEMA pays to have the debris removed from public streets, every load that comes in must be documented. They want location, cubic yards, truck number, and crew number. The debris monitor follows a crew, a front end loader and 3-4 trucks would be a good example. They make sure that only vegetation on the public right of way is picked up. The crews know the rules and have been doing it for many storms. The monitor follows the crew in his car and waits while they load, when the load is complete, he gets out and gives them their tickets. Very easy job. It's 12 hour days, seven days a week---44 hours of overtime a week. In Miami the hourly rate was $11 hr.
Aerotek is a temporary agency that staffs them.
